Debian's pygame package removes the original freesansbold.ttf file in pygame's source and symlinks it to a system copy of freesansbold.ttf (/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSansBold.ttf) during the build process (via an override target). This is why the python-pygame package depends on ttf-freefont. Vincent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
