Please feel invited to help with the packaging, and when you upload, if you wish you can put your name in the Maintainer: field -- and seek someone who's more familiar with CJK fonts to help you. Anthony Fok unfortunately seems too busy to help actively, and has expressed his consent with interested people taking over one of his packages. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Will, This is a good news. Thank you for taking action. My upstream has recently declared freetype 1.9 obsolete and dangerous to use with their software, so I was about to start looking into why we are still at 1.7. If I can help you with packaging a more recent version I would be happy to do so. Unfortunately I am not familiar with the CJK fonts, so can't help you there. Please feel free to contact me privately if you'd like me to do something to help you. Best wishes, Alex. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Well, I am familiar with CJK fonts, but not with freetype. So I don't
know if I can be of any help. And I'm not an official DD.
Further more I'm also quite busy with my own packages
(ttf-arphic-{uming|ukai}), which btw. are CJK fonts. :)
Cheers
