Me too. I discovered that I am not able to remove some fonts from my packages. This is a design flaw, though it can be fixed. But I am not very embarassed about Defoma because I feel that I if some problem of Defoma starts to bother me too much, I will be forced not to be lazy and fix it. :) > Hopefully its new maintainer will work with me / persuade me to see > whatever light I'm supposed to be seeing. Defoma tries to be universal and possibly this is what makes it so complex. It can generate authomaticaly fonts.scale and fonts.alias for X, declare fonts and PS-name aliases for Ghostscript. I even managed to create a package defoma-tex that is able to make Type1 fonts available for TeX. (But then I realised that no one will use it -- gsfonts are internaly supported by TeX, for my packages I decided to use a different way and xfonts-scalable doesn't support Defoma.) Anton Zinoviev
