Heh, yes, I just go to the "build/" directory and use a soft link to the four TrueType Fonts instead. tfm-arphic-* uses the same procedure, just as you described. > > > Also since I am asking lazy questions - I've heard inquiries on IRC > > > about why your packages are arch:i386 (which is essentially arch:any) > > > instead of arch:all.

IANAP(rogrammer), and am absolutely ignorant about hardware specs, so any help here would indeed be most welcome. :) I also don't really know when to put things in either binary-indep or binary-arch in debian/rules, but ItWorks(tm), or at least seems to. ;D > P.S.: I'm subscribed to the list, so no need to cc: me, thanks. Heh, me too. Sorry. I'm used to receive and send CC's all the time; I just press the "d" key to delete them in Mew. ;D > http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct I didn't read Debian's code of conduct for mailing lists before.
