thanks for noticing; it's not a real problem. I had recently (version
0.009) switched to a lighter-weight fontforge call to generate the
bolded font. that lighter-weight method didn't emit many error
messages. But looking at the bold font itself in more detail, i was
unhappy with the way the new method dealt with sharp corners on the
glyphs.
So, in version 0.10 i reverted to my older method for boldifying,
which emits more fontforge noise, but crafts a bold font i'm happier
with.

Done. i've uploaded a new 0.10-1 to the apt repository, and removed
traces of the old one. i know that's kind of weird (it should really
be 0.10-2), but aiui, you can't upload new packages unless they're
*-1. So anyone who updated from this repository over the last couple
hours should probably purge their dkg-handwriting package.
Thanks for your feedback, Rafael, and your eye for detail.
Regards,
--dkg
