-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Here is the report regarding the spacing problem: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/issues/471 The original issue in "libpango" on the GNOME GitLab is locked so they refuse to listen to anything regarding that deprecation. Seriously, can you just keep that package at 1.42 (or add a "legacy" package)? It breaks too many use cases. I can hold that package from upgrading, but eventually, some packages may require the new version (just like "chromium" and GTK2). -- Please limit your reply to 7-bit ASCII.

Can you elaborate on what spacing issues you observed? Thanks, Antonio -- Antonio Ospite https://ao2.it https://twitter.com/ao2it A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 The problem with the OTB format is that there are spacing issues. Also if you do so, the same font would appear twice. A possible solution is to keep the old version of Pango (libpango-legacy) in another package, and provide an alternative in dependencies (Depends: libpango-1.0-0 | libpango-legacy). -- Please limit your reply to 7-bit ASCII.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 It is sad to see this. It is the same reason that I refuse to use GTK3. I hope that you can contact upstream to preserve bitmaps. Or at least compile a separate package with bitmap support. The problem is that most TrueType fonts are rendered poorly unless you have a high-DPI/"retina" display, which most people do not have. Also, remember that embedded devices usually have low-resolution screens (like 128*128 or 64*64). If you enable antialiasing you get blurry texts. If you disable antialiasing you get out-of-shape texts. Bitmap fonts have no such problems because they are pixel-perfect and does not require antialiasing if a fixed font size is specified (which in most cases is). Last but not least, bitmap fonts are easy to edit, unlike TrueType fonts. Also, not everyone uses a DE like GNOME. I (and many people) use WMs like i3 and TWM because they use fewer resources and has fewer distractions. If I use a minimal WM and I use the terminal all day long, obviously I want the UI font to be the same as the terminal font. - Please limit your reply to 7-bit ASCII.
