Works great for me from vanilla Freetype 2.1.3 sources compiled on Debian testing (gcc version 2.95.4). I just tried Nimbus Sans L Regular from n019003l.pfb. I fear compiler issues... -keith _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
