[mgp-users 01430] Re: Debian package problem-- fonts

[Yoshifumi Nishida <nishida@csl.sony.co.jp>]

Hmm, I haven't made devian package, so I might be a wrong person
to answer your question. But, I believe if Xft2 is installed 
properly on your PC and if mgp is built with xft2 lib, xfont
should work correctly. Could you elaborate a bit on your problem?

Thanks,
