I will remove this obsolete text (after a communication with Alexander) later in the night. I don't have any problem with the DejaVu fonts (with fontconfig-2.4.2) and also the sed doesn't really substitute anything. My only doubt is if I have to comment out the text or removing it at all. I am in favor to remove it entirely. If you have any objections please speak up. -- Ag. http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/Hacking -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
