;( It's a damn, damn shame no one noticed earlier. We could have asked
the freetype maintainer to hold back from uploading 2.2 until it was
sorted out. No use crying over spilt milk, however, I suppose.

Ouch. Sometimes seems to me upstream is a little too....enthusiastic...
about getting new releases out....

Yeah, I'm assuming it's the 7.1 version of libxfont that we'll want to
fix. Not much point trying to save 7.0 (not that there'll be that much
difference between them).
Good luck,
