[Fink-devel] freetype2

Do you know what packages they are? Yesterday after talking to you and before the last message you sent me I wrote packages for rfontconfig-2.2.99 and freetype2-2.1.9. The freetype installs fine, and I would like to test it with these packages that you heard of that don't work right with the ladder version of freetype.

Do you know what packages they are? Firefox and mozilla both don't like later versions of freetype (such as the one included in X.org). The latest mozilla package was changed so that it always reads Fink's (older) freetype, but firefox was left alone with freetype completely disabled. The upcoming Firefox version 1.1 is supposed to have the freetype issue fixed (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234035) Hanspeter -- Hanspeter Niederstrasser, Ph.D.Dept. of Cell Biology hniederstrasser at cellbiology.wustl.edu Campus Box 8228 Cooper Lab 660 South Euclid Avenue Washington University in St. Louis St. Louis, MO 63110 --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

I certainly can help you get it formatted appropriately. The best place to start (I've found) is to copy one of the existing doc trees (e.g. users-guide or x11) to be the folder to contain a new doc, clean out all of the files other than the base English XML file, the Makefiles, and any .inc files. Then generate your new document out of this remaining XML file--that way the doc styles are already known. I use Morphon XML Editor, which keeps track of all of the document styles and runs validity checks after every text entry--this makes it easy to ensure that the document is valid. Feel free to ask me if you have any further questions. --AH --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

I wonder if this should be a chapter in the advanced doc (it would be more of a special topics than necessarily technically advanced and specialized usage), or in one of the other usage docs, or should be its own doc? I don't know whether our doc system is better-tuned to having each fewer, broadly-scoped docs or having many smaller, more-focused bits. Should probably figure that out pretty soon... dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Maybe special topics is the way to go here... --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
