Update: Asked #xorg-devel and was told that Mark J. Kilgard is very
annoyed at Debian and now refuses to talk to Debian people. As a
result I don't think it is a good idea to contact him about this
issue. His comments can be found here:
http://bugs.debian.org/131997
We need to get chromium working with plib and if that doesn't work
then we have to write a libtxf or switch to TTF fonts.
Volunteers welcome!
