Package: gs-common
Version: 0.3.7
Severity: minor

There are several typos and unclear sections in the README.Debian file.

The most harmful is probably the typo in line 52, which has --Suape
instead of --Shape.  (This will be obvious to people who have some
familiarity with defoma; but there will be some people who are not, and
will just copy the typo and wonder why it doesn't work.)

I suppose "gsfontderivatice" in line 20 means something like
"gs-font-derived" or "gs-font related"???  (I see the term
"gsfontderivative" in line 60, but it seems awkward to me.)

In the next line, "registered" should be "registers".

In line 22, "top" should probably be "front".  And I'd add "the" before
"postscript".

Line 26: I'd add "the" before the *second* occurrence of "CMap".

Line 38: for "propotional widthed", put "proportionally-spaced" (don't
forget to insert the missing "r").

In line 60, the word "Substance" seems peculiar; what's meant here?
I suppose the word "substantial" in line 62 means "existing"?  Could
this part be re-written a little more clearly?

If I understood how defoma works, maybe I could suggest better
wordings....
