As I read the bug lists for xfonts-base, the previously reported similar
bug (213286) had been reassigned to Emacs. But this one (214449) is
obviously not an Emacs bug, since it also affects several other
programs.

Thank _you_ for your work on X and for Debian!
I am sure you get quite a lot of complaints and very little praise. But
you should know that your work is much appreciated.
