Package: vtk9
Version: 9.3.0+dfsg1-4
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: t_ellinghaus at gmx.de

Dear Maintainer,

please add

-DVTK_MODULE_ENABLE_VTK_RenderingFreeTypeFontConfig:STRING="YES"

to the cmake rules in order to enable the RenderingFreeTypeFontConfig module.
This is helpful to change the font family used by VTK to anything other than
the 3 built in ones. This is especially important to integrate with the system
and use the default font set by the user.

Thanks a lot,
Tobias
