I just compiled the new OpenTTD version against libicu60 from experimental and that compiles fine. At first glance, internationalized word-wrapping and right-to-left text looks fine (though I don't read any such language, the results seem identical to what icu57 produced, modulo some subtle space changes). So you're saying I could upload OpenTTD now, and it will be recompiled with icu60 once that is uploaded to Sid? Or should I wait a few days? > > Neither me or upstream has much experience in this field, perhaps you > > have a different suggestion for an alternative? > I don't know any other alternative.

Thanks, we'll have a closer look. I've created a new bug to further track this, since it seems this will not block this particular transition.
