xfsft deb package
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
A few days ago (maybe a week or so? I am too lazy to look back and
check...and it doesn't REALLY matter)
I mentioned an interest in xfstt which is listed as needing
a new maintainer and got no reply here....but I was told
in a separate discussion (which was the same one which
prompted me to post here) I was told that it already has a new
maintainer.
Then I recived an anynomous message from someone who had read the thread.
(I havn't gotten an anonymous message since annon.pennet.fi shut down)
Saying that I should look into xfsft ..which is another (suposedly better)
True Type font server for X.
(BTW a number of days ago I expressed intrest in this on debian-mentors
about this but recived no response...nor any other mail from that
list which I am almost sure I subscribed to...is that adead list?)
I have thought about it a bit more and I woul dlike to give this a try.
has anyone else looked into this (or possibly already doing this?
it is not listed as being worked on...)
Unfortunatly this package is a little weird in one way...
the distribution only contains some of the source code...
the rest is from other packages (it si distributed as a patch)
has anyone run into this situation before?
This will require me to get the "Freetype" source code and
the X11 source code (it uses the X11 font server source)
how should this be handled (esp when it comes to making the
source ditribution with the tar.gz and the diffs and all)
