Bug#306290: ttf-mph-2b-damase and fontconfig



Hi,

I'm trying to get rid of cruft in my todo list, so...

About the fontconfig problem, would it help if I put a really low
priority in the defoma hints file? Currently it is at priority 20.

Or does fontconfig also have a hints file system that I could use?

Or would it be possible to modify the ttf so that fontconfig prefers
other fonts?

Another possibility might be to put something in the package description
about the limitations of the font with respect to Kharosthi and
Limbu/etc, and conflict with other fonts that are better than it for
certain parts of Unicode (when these enter debian). If either of you
could write a succinct, objective explanation of the problems as you see
them, I would be glad to include them, so this font could at least find
a larger audience. Perhaps a longer explanation could be put in a
README.Debian file included with the package.

Assuming I can find an appropriate workaround/fix for the above problem,
are either of you debian developers or could you suggest somewhere for
me to find a sponsor other than the normal debian-mentors list? Hmm,
perhaps debian-i18n or the freetype/fontconfig/defoma ppl would help.
