Bug#230696: RFE: Update Xfree86 encoding files to Xfree86 V4.4.0RC2 to include font encoding fixes and enhancements
Package: xfonts-base
Version: 4.2.1-16
RFE: Please update the encoding files and mkfontscale in Debian to
Xfree86 V4.4.0RC2.
There are lots of fixes in the encoding files, mainly for the Arabic
encodings (iso8859-6.8x and iso8859-6.16), Honkong locales and the new
sun-indic unicode mapping. mkfontscale has been modified to search fonts
for these new encodings, too.
Can you update these files for the next Debian release (this is mainly
for Mozilla to enhance Arabic, Chinese and Indic support), please (risk
is low, the fixes have extensively been tested) ?
----
Bye,
Roland
