Because: 1) Your problem with trying to connect to the X server via a TCP connection when the X server is not listening on a TCP port has nothing to do with the original report. 2) Neither does your complaint about the failure of the xfree86 package maintainer scripts to parse existing configuration files.

Uh, you seem to be rather glibly overlooking the requirements involved in "displaying some approximation of the requested character".

Title: Check This Out Save Money and Reduce Pollution Large diesel vehicles can burn up to 1 gallon of diesel fuel for each hour that they idle. School buses typically use about half a gallon for each hour. If a school bus fleet has 50 buses and each bus reduces its idling time by 30 minutes per day, at $1 per gallon of diesel fuel, the fleet would save $2,250 per school year in reduced fuel costs. In addition to saving money, the school bus fleet would avoid emitting diesel exhaust into the air in and around where children learn and play.

Bug#219854: xutils: mkfontdir kills fonts.dir and leaves only one "0" there behind#
Package: xutils Version: 4.3.0-0pre1v4 Severity: important Tags: experimental sid Hello, I have a problem with the mkfontdir utility. It just wipes the contents of the fonts.dir file and inserts a 0 instead. I used mkttfdir now and it scans the directory correctly and inserts the detected font data into fonts.dir. The problem occured in Sid first so I upgraded to xutils in experimental, but this just does the same thing.

Right, but the real bug is not THIS one . It is that the upgrade DOES NOT read the previous configuration files, so while other packages, if you give the default reply (that is you hit return), maintains the current setting, and make new setting based on previous one, this packege completely ignore older config files (althought it make a backup of them). second microbug: why the bug is still tagged as "unreproducible"?

Bug#219551: Unicode xterms should do some kind of substitution for missing characters

I disagree. gnome-terminal is behaving as intended, i.e., displaying the nearest character to a hyphen present in the font it was instructed to use. Incidentally, below are screenshots of "man rm" on three different terminal emulators. In order of increasing brokenness of display: http://cp.yi.org/cameron/hyphen/gnome-terminal.png http://cp.yi.org/cameron/hyphen/xterm.png http://cp.yi.org/cameron/hyphen/konsole.png | > contain the former.

No. There is no problem with manpages using hyphens. If a font contains separate hyphens and minus signs, they should be presented as hyphens in UTF-8 locales, too. If a font does /not/ contain a hyphen character, displaying them as the closest approximation that is contained in that font, or perhaps even as a hyphen from another font, is the Right Thing to do. Cheers, Cameron.
