Ahem!  Pardon me!

Is there a problem with FreeFont or not?

Why hasn't anybody pushed this upstream????

If there is a problem, the FreeFont maintainers should be informed.
I can personally assure you, all efforts will be made to improve things.
However, we have not heard of this problem at all!

Please post any FreeFont bugs on
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=freefont

Maintainers:
It is not my business to check the bug lists of distributions for bugs relating to FreeFont.
If there is a real problem, please inform upstream!!!
