I would like to get version unifont-1:5.1.20080808-2 into Lenny (the latest version in unstable). Robert Millan just did an NMU of it yesterday. unifont-1:5.1.20080706-1 was uploaded just before the freeze and Adeodato Simó unblocked it. Unfortunately, that version introduced an RC bug; I moved the file unifont.pcf.gz, which had been in the old "unifont" package, to the "xfonts-unifont" package and I didn't include Replaces/Conflicts entries in the control file for xfonts-unifont. So there was a complaint that xfonts-unifont was overwriting the old unifont's unifont.pcf.gz file. I split the PCF font into a separate package because I introduced a TrueType version of the font in ttf-unifont. I wanted to allow someone to be able to install the TrueType font without the PCF font. I created the split upon recommendations from a Debian mailing list. So, I then released unifont-1:5.1.20080808-1 with permission of Adeodato Simó. That version also incorporated updates from Ubuntu that had never been ported back to Debian, and I fine-tuned some Chinese glyphs. On Saturday, I got a bug report that without the file /usr/share/unifont/unifont.hex in place, GRUB wouldn't display graphical characters properly -- another RC bug. I hadn't created that file because my package now creates 4 versions of a unifont.hex file. I quickly put together another package, unifont-1:5.1.20080808-2, on Saturday night to fix that bug. Robert Millan (who reported the bug) tested my package on Sunday, was satisfied with it, and performed an NMU. Adeodato had asked me to upload it ASAP. So I would like to get unifont-1:5.1.20080808-2 into Lenny. This is a major update of the old package that includes complete coverage of the Unicode 5.1 Basic Multilingual Plane (the first 65,536 code points) and also has a scalable TrueType font version. As for unifont-1:5.1.20080706-1 and unifont-1:5.1.20080808-1, they can be ignored where possible since they have RC bugs associated with them.
