Correct, pango is now used. > Unfortunately, this means that the generated images are *much* larger. > This may be not a very serious problem by itself but doxygen uses > graphviz and many packages in Debian generate their -doc packages > using doxygen. > asterisk-doc images were 13MB and with the newer graphviz this figure > gets to 112M (10 times more!).

They are -doc package, that's not like they're duplicated 11 times on mirrors, though. > I'm not sure what the proper solution -if any- would be and if this > bug would need to be reassigned to doxygen, but I'm filing this here > since the graphviz maintainer would know the situation better. I thought people would be glad to have better looking images. I guess you might want to either reduce the size of the images, or pick another output format. I didn't check, but maybe svg or ps/pdf might be better than png in some cases. > The severity may seem a bit inflated since there is no actual defect; > however, there is a need for a workaround or fix ASAP before this > seriously hits all mirrors. I'll check that with upstream. I guess it's possible to disable the pango rendering/antialiased output at some point. Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
