It just the mailserver not accepting mail and that makes problems for reaching you (as in case for this ITP). As mail is to debian communication channel nr.1 this is not good. It could also have been the fact that you don't have control over it (provider, or whatever) Again: It was not meant in offense to you and if you understood that so I apologoize...

Hello. I've talk to Stuart since a lot time ago about all this, but forgot to look over his late work on the fonts part that was missing. I tough that was a little bit more delyaed than it is. That is my fault for not checking and I'm sorry. Now I will test the fonts against my op-panel package, which is my own responsability now. I also want to apologize for the problems I had with my email account. This was a situation that escaped my control and I hope you all people never get in that situation so people like Rene Engelhard don't treat you like this: "Alejandro (in case you read that in the buglog since your §%&§ mailserver doesn't accept mail)..."

I don't want an explosion of packages in an effort to convert all fonts that are available, but I do think it would be good to provide the common fonts that are used by applications that depend on libming. I'd go for option one with a small util that: 1. installs the ttf font package e.g. via apt 2. converts to ming fonts 3. optionally uninstalls the ttf font package I have so far choosen the other option because I felt that when installing on a production server, I wanted to _not_ do the extra work of converting the fonts as part of the installation, nor did I want to have to go perform a manual step on multiple servers. This could also lead to other applications (which depend on libming) having to build the fonts in their postinstall script, and there could be multiple applications that need the same font. It is still possible to perform option #1 since the tool is provided, but I would like for the common cases to be effortless for the end user. Stuart Stuart R.

Yeah, we could make that opensymbol, good catch. Minor point, though since it's just package contents and you normally should not need to fiddle around with that font anyway ;-).

Alejandro (in case you read that in the buglog since your §%&§ mailserver doesn't accept mail): The libming maintainer (especially when those font packages come out of the ming source pkg) is the best person to maintain this.

That makes the ITP obsolete since*if* this is to be packages it should be either from libming (which Stuart maintains) or on-the-fly converted from the font packages it's based on. But this doesn't answer whether the grave bugs in the fonts was fixed. Alejandro ITPed 0.1 again which supposedly to that removal log has those grave bugs. Or that might be libming only, I don't know.. But in any case, this were pre-connverted things afaik... In the meanwhile, you answered on -devel that it's generated during the build from opens___.ttf (which is the only font there). Please name it -opensymbol. So Alejandros ITP is bogus.

Or how are they converted? I wasn't sure what Alejandro had in mind, so I didn't want to answer for him. In the past however, that package was made from some fonts that were manually converted and uploaded to the ming FTP site. The tool that was used for that conversion a few years ago has suffered some bitrot. Can they be converted during-build of some other package (where the fonts are from, when there's OOo fonts I mean ttf-opensymbol and ttf-bitstream-vera). Yes, the packages I have prepared are built as part of the rest of the ming package. The ming source package Build-depends on the package that contains the TTF fonts that will be converted into a libming font package. Upstream ming (and the libming-util package) now includes an updated version of the tool that is used to convert the fonts. It is now trivial to create additional libming format font packages, so some of the feedback I'd like to receive, is which fonts would it be useful to have already converted and packaged.
