No problem. I guess it was my mistake. So far submitted code was thoroughly tested and often heavily modified by the committers. This has delayed code commit and loaded a overly hard burdeon on the person who did the commit (in the majority of cases David, but also Alan, Marc and others). I would like to get to a situation where the submitter himself takes over more responsibilities and takes his code to a committable state - if necessary accompanied by an experienced developer. This would also mean that I'd expect from a contributor with your expertise to only submit code he has given some testing himself unless he says otherwise. Of course, everybody makes mistakes - I have done a lot lately - there may always be bugs that fell thru the cracks and nobody expects submitters to test their code on several different platforms before submitting. You could not know that I would make these assumptions. > I had tested the mkfontdir replacement on the font directories I hold > on my laptop.
