Jérémie answered this question, i will just add that normally users are not really supposed to use dpkg-buildpackage, it is just that I haven't really finished a release yet (but it is closed ;)). >> for the error in the font, I didn't realize I had a too recent fontforge >> when I edited the font the last time... and the stupid developer changed >> the sfd format one more time, sadly it's impossible to convert it in a >> more ancient sfd format, so you will have to upgrade to a recent >> fontforge to compile the last greciliae font... >> > > Since ubuntu has not released a package for the new fontforge, I'll stay > with the old font for now.

So you can simply do dvipdf instead of odvips-ps2pdf. But anyway, all this is written in the documentation that I still have to translate, sorry... >> Thank you for your feedback, if you have more questions, don't hesitate >> to ask them ! >> > > Are you looking for collaborators? > YES! of course! I have been working for two years on this project, and now that I have finished a huge part (the C and TeX part), I'm not motivated enough to launch the final part (a GUI)... I already have something started that almost work (in Python/Qt4), but there is still a huge work to do... I would be really happy if you helped me in this part!
