Please sync fontforge 0.0.20080330-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main).

Reason: Version 0.0.20080330 changed the sfd file format. Font files which
were generated with fontforge >= 0.0.20080330 cannot be opened anymore with
older fontforge versions. For font developers using Hardy, this will be crucial
for their work. The DejaVu and Freefont projects have already switched to the
new format. Their future source packages cannot be built with older fontforge
versions anymore.

Changelog since current hardy version 0.0.20071110-1build2:

fontforge (0.0.20080330-1) unstable; urgency=low

I'm OK from a Sponsors perspective. Subscribing ubuntu-release.

[Khaled Hosny (khaledhosny)]

Any chance this will get into hardy, I can't edit any sfd file created by new versions and I don't want to mess with building from source.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

New version is in intrepid.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Changed the bug to be an SRU request. Please include a complete changelog between hardy's current and this version. How much has the new version be tested? Does the UI change? Does the new version break compatibility with any format the current version still supports?

[Khaled Hosny (khaledhosny)]

The SFD formate got slightly changed in the new version, any old file can be open but will be always saved in the new formate. There might be many changes in the UI since current release in hardy is several releases behind (fontforge has a new release every month or so).

[Khaled Hosny (khaledhosny)]

Upstream changlog can be found here http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/changelog.html, there is around 500 line changelog between 9-Nov-2007 and 30-Mar-2008 only.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

To be honest this is a perfect candidate for a backport. Except from being old (which just happens in every stable release), there is nothing that warrants a SRU for Hardy here. Subscribing backports folks.

[Alessio "Spinus" Moscatello (spinus)]

I've built version 0.0.20080429-1 under Hardy with prevu and it works, but I don't know it enough to test all the rdeps...

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

rdepends need to be tested. Do other packages have to be able to read the new format?
