Package: xlibs
Version: 4.2.1-4
Severity: wishlist

I think Xft library should be able to use TrueType fonts (ttf-* packages)
which are installed in the system automatically.

I imagine this is achieved by writing defoma script 
(say, /usr/share/defoma/scripts/xlibs.defoma) to register TrueType
fonts (or, directories of TrueType fonts) into /etc/X11/XftConfig
file and to call xftcache.

# Reassigning the following to libxft2 in case it still occurs:
reassign 136527 libxft2
thanks

I'm closing the following bugs which are obsolete because libXft1 is no
longer shipped, and libXft2 no longer uses /etc/X11/Xft:

#163634: libxft1: SEGV when encountering surprising spaces in
/etc/X11/XftConfig

#97506: libxft1: want antialiasing excluded from fonts where 8 < size <
15 by default in /etc/X11/XftConfig

#88054: libxft1: want a mechanism for packages to update directories
listed in /etc/X11/XftConfig

#171787: libxft1: please automatically register TrueType fonts in
/etc/X11/XftConfig

#207976: libxft1: support modular configuration of /etc/X11/XftConfig
through include directives

I'm also closing this bug because the test case for it is no longer
compilable even in Sarge:

#101055: libxft1: SEGV when calling XAddExtension() from
_XftDisplayInfoGet()
