Bug#939748: Pango 1.44.x drops support for rendering BDF (X11 bitmap) and Type 1 fonts

[Yuri D'Elia]

Package: libpango-1.0-0
Version: 1.44.7-3
Followup-For: Bug #939748

I was wondering why "dunst", suddenly, stopped displaying characters,
even though dunst itself didn't change.

Looking at the upgrade log, I catch pango, and now I see this.
I generally don't use bitmap fonts, but they have their uses.
At low resolutions they can't be beaten. Terminus is excellent.

I know debian has little to do with this decision, so I'm only here to
join in stating that I'm too deeply sorry for this.

I'm also not happy at all behind most of the UI and technical decisions
behind GTK3. I say that as a big, big lover of GTK2. I'm _even_ using
the GTK plaftorm style in QT.
