I've done something similar. I removed all embedded font copies and replaced them with symlinks to font packages in Debian. ae_AlMothnna-Bold.ttf -> DejaVuSans.ttf (fonts-dejavu) gargi.ttf -> Gargi.ttf (fonts-gargi) tahoma.ttf -> Norasi.ttf (fonts-tlwg-norasi) Ubuntu-R.ttf -> DejaVuSans.ttf (fonts-dejavu) wqy-microhei.ttc -> wqy-microhei.ttc (ttf-wqy-microhei) I'm quite satisfied with the result. It looks nice. Thanks for replacing the interface-sounds. I'll have a look at them soon. I've already replaced the music with your recommendations Tenpel, Chrimson Blue and tri-stikhii and Emptiness.ogg from Alexander Blu for the tutorial. You can download the sources with dget -x ftp://46.182.19.209/marsshooter/marsshooter_0.7.5+dfsg-1.dsc or simply grab the original tarball here: ftp://46.182.19.209/marsshooter/marsshooter_0.7.5+dfsg.orig.tar.xz Perhaps you like this mix too. > This leaves the music as something that needs replacement.

If Obsidian Shell changed the license, I think that would be worth a beer. :) > We only recently got SFML2 into Fedora, we've made SFML-1.6 and SFML-2.0 > parallel installable by putting the headers in a separate dir and renaming > the .so symlinks.

I'm using his package locally and it works fine. https://mentors.debian.net/package/libsfml Regards, Markus
