Here's the main lib: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/libfaad0 and the gstreamer plugin which uses it: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad In other words you want better font managers for GNOME, KDE or Xfce or > even a different font alias manager as a add-on.

OK - I'll look into it. Regarding Etch - yes, it has indeed come a long way from boot-floppies, and is in fact more stable than Ubuntu. However, I do think Ubuntu does have some features that make it "easier" (driver detection, a more streamlined live-CD based install, codec installer, and so on). This can certainly be argued, though, and in no way do I mean to say that Debian is necessarily hard. Anyway, I'm not in any way demanding anything - just asking what is going on with respect to Lenny, mentioning a few areas that I've seen issues in, and seeing where I can help. The very fact that developers have taken the time to respond to my questions/concerns has definitely left me impressed. Tim
