No content in that URL. FWIW, currently the Debian package uses Pango and no one has complained about font handling. Is anyone still using sawfish and *unable* to use pango? In a related note, should we still try to maintain compatibility with old systems? There's code around to handle quirks in X11R4! -- Rodrigo Gallardo GPG-Fingerprint: 7C81 E60C 442E 8FBC D975 2F49 0199 8318 ADC9 BC28
