[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#618310: dejavu-fonts-ttf upstream

[Marius Mikucionis <mmikucionis@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Almost two years have passed.

Upstream has been publishing snapshots with fixes for a year now, but not Debian.

In fact the latest upload of 2.33-3 has overwritten my manual fixes and broke it again :-(

There is something wrong with Debian's "upstream", maybe some scripts aren't fixed in the SVN repository.

Here's an upstream bug report with discussion:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36135

My workaround:

1) visit http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/snapshots/

2) download dejavu-fonts-2.33 package (current link: http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/snapshots/dejavu-fonts-2.33-20130121-2512.tar.bz2 )

3) extract and copy the ttf files from ttf directory to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/
