I think I need to look at the --with-jbig2dec option too. I'll note now that some distros seem to use a system version of urw fonts, but does anyone know if there is any reason we *we* would want to specify the fontpath ? Finally, do you have a reliable url for Arch PKGBUILDS ? I've occasionally found relevant stuff there, but I don't seem to have a current url in my bookmarks.
