Bug#374062: why is this not RC?
[ this mail has sat rotting in my postponed folder for ages. sorry about that. ] On Tue, Jul 10, 2007 at 12:13:16AM -0700, Steve Langasek wrote: (What code uses TTF_Render*_Solid? Does this make libsdl-ttf unusable?), Any text rendered using TTF_Render*_Solid which includes a space character will fail. TTF_Render*_Shaded works, as does blended, and those are most commonly used. So libsdl-ttf is not unusable, but severely impaired. I'm happy to have the bug escalated to 'serious' and inquire with the SRMs about accepting an update. I read somewhere (maybe the upstream bug report) that a security fix caused the regression. However I've walked back freetype6 versions as far as 2.1.7-5 and the bug is still present. -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I have been unable to run any code which uses TTF_Render*_Solid without getting the error described. As such, I would also request that the fix be back-ported and submitted for inclusion in Etch r1 since the problem exists in Etch too. This bug is not marked as RC because no one reported it as such; on the whole, freetype is perfectly usable for most people and with most applications, and if there's some other reason that this bug should be treated as RC and warrant an update in a stable point release, that hasn't been made clear to me. If you can explain to me why you think this is RC (What code uses TTF_Render*_Solid? Does this make libsdl-ttf unusable?), I'm happy to have the bug escalated to 'serious' and inquire with the SRMs about accepting an update. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
