Yep. That's what I figured.
Since it's going to cause people's X configurations to break now,
maybe the configuration script shoud explicitly force a selection. I
think you'd do something like this in xserver-xfree86.templates :
Template: xserver-xfree86/config/xtt_versus_freetype
Type: select
Choices: freetype, xtt
The freetype and xtt modules should not be enabled at the same
time, as they are incompatible. The freetype module should be used for
Western languages and anti-aliased font support; the xtt module should be
used for East Asian character set support (specifically, for CID-keyed
fonts).
.
Please select one or the other.
I think I made it work, after a fashion, but I don't think anyone
would want my nasty patch (I'm certainly not installing on my
system!).
