Hum I wouldn't have expected the X server to have anything to do with defoma. At least it is certainly unuseful in fedora. I would see it useful for postrscript and type1 fonts. Is there something fundamentaly broken in defoma, or is it a bug you are describing? In any case it is a interesting information. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
