Hello all,
In an old (2005) post (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=107596&highlight=defoma-hints+Can%27t+locate+FreeType.pm), Paul Jones wrote:
Is defoma broken?
When I try to use defoma-hints, I get "defoma-hints Can't locate FreeType.pm", which is a Perl package that interfaces to FreeType version 1 (http://freetype.sourceforge.net/index2.html). I assume you have to have the FreeType lib to be able to use the Perl package but building it proves to be a challenge because it's pretty old code and there are some missing .h files I will have to track down. Other folks on the net have reported this problem but I saw no solution.
I wonder why FreeType 1 isn't packaged along with or referenced by the defoma package. (I didn't see anything on Debian except FreeType 2 and tests for FreeType 1)
Anyone else using defoma?
I encounter the same problem. Nothind new since 2005? Is defoma still maintained however?
And, oh... Found also this :
Debian Changelog defoma (0.11.10-0.2)
2008
defoma (0.11.10-0.2) unstable; urgency=high
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Do not build the dfontmgr binary package anymore [...]
I tried to get the dfontmgr through Synaptic, but yes, it is broken.
Well, well...
