That's true. When I start building the package

Peter ask me to keep compatibility with woody. Yet, now that sarge is out, this may be useless.

I just tried that tonight, and it is MUCH slower. It take about 5 min on
my machine (AMD 3200+) to install the fonts. I find it too long.
I think it is preferable to split the package in two, and provide the C

Anyway, if you want to have a look, I have an unofficial, not fully
tested version 0.3.3-7 here:
