Version 2.0.7 came out Oct 30. Debian-unstable still
only has version 2.0.6. Among the many terrible bugs
that were fixed:

2.0.7
* Fixed memory corruption problems with some italic fonts
* Fixed crash when opening a font file that doesn't exist
2.0.6
* Fixed memory corruption problem with small point sizes

Yow! Should all italic fonts be blocked?

Also, the library provides no access to the character map.
The only way to tell if a character is junk is to compare
it it pixel-by-pixel against one that surely is junk.

Also, the library appears to randomly return NULL when
rendering something. This is horribly painful. Currently,
the Tux Paint code relys on a font to work if it worked
before. All fonts are tested at startup; if they work
at that time then they ought to continue working.

BTW, I did fix two other problems. Things may work better.
