It appears that Allegro 5 has font rendering using TrueType fonts built-in: http://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Allegro_5_Tutorial/Addons/Fonts I don't think we should add new games depending on Allegro 4, so please ask folks to port their code to Allegro 5. BTW, it is fine to introduce new packages to sid during the freeze, as long as existing packages in wheezy/sid. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
