Font Problem in Hardy stops Fluxus from launching

[AEZ]

When I try to launch fluxus I get the following error:

$ fluxus
PolyGlyph::PolyGlyph: could not load font: #debian/fluxus/usr/share/fluxus-0.14/material/fonts/Bitstream-Vera-Sans-Mono.ttf

I can reproduce this bug here. I have the font installed in:

/usr/share/fluxus-0.14/material/fonts/Bitstream-Vera-Sans-Mono.ttf

I wonder if the problem is related to the path prefix: #debian/fluxus ...? Is there a way to change this in the sources?

yep, this is a known packaging bug. I have to find time to fix it. Thanks for reminding me.
