Dmitry, This patch has triggered a bug in make test for me; I only notice it when I put a Windows flavor of arial.ttf into my windows/fonts directory. The specific failure is in get_glyph_indices when we're passing in a symbol charset (i.e. the 3rd loop). I've tracked it to line 3461 of

Oh, I don't know. Seems to me that the wiki it's a *better* landing page for newbies; it does a better job of leading them by the hand without making them scroll or click. I disagree. People still have an expectation that a 'front page' has some sort of introductory component to it. And

We discussed bugzilla versions at Wineconf, re: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12728 There were several points of consensus. First, it would be helpful if we could reduce the number of versions visible in the drop down box when entering a new bug. That would seem to require a bugzilla
