[Mageia-dev] urw-fonts

[David Walser]

The urw-fonts package is a confusing mess with multiple copies of the same fonts, coming from different sources and different times.  One of the things in the package is urw-fonts-1.0.7pre40.  There is now a urw-fonts-1.0.7pre44 available:
http://svn.ghostscript.com/ghostscript/tags/urw-fonts-1.0.7pre44/

which may obsolete some of the other copies of the fonts in that package.

Also, RedHat has changed their version of the package to 2.4, instead of the 2.0 we have now (neither have any correspondence to anything).  Gentoo, to add to the mess is using "2.4.9" to their version, as can be seen here:

Could someone update the urw-fonts to pre44, change the version to (at least) 2.4, and try and sort out this mess?
