  Here is a list of bugs and unwanted features in gFont 1.0.3
  Feel free to send me patches to solve these problems.

  * Even with EC fonts, some characters look strange

       For instance, try : gfont -F mf:ecrm1200-3.0  'aeiou'
       The `` is changed to , and the  is changed to SS.
       It is because EC fonts encoding is not isolatin, some characters
       differ. Moreover, the sz-ligature is really awful, looking like
       a fs ligature.

  o Solution: use Postscript fonts


  * Why did standard precompiled fonts vanish from the distribution?

       There is no good reason. A bug has been reported telling those
       files cause problems on big-endian architecture, but everything
       should be fixed now. These font files may come back in a future
       release.

  o Solution: type ``make'' and wait.


  * Why do i have messages like ``Still cannot load font ....''

       Thanks to Dave Plonka, Postscript fonts can now be used on big
       endian platforms. for those platforms, the .gdf file format has
       changed, so this message may appear.

  o Solution: remove everything under .../lib/gfont/gdf/
