http://pkg-voip.buildserver.net/debian/pool/main/m/ming-fonts/
and
http://pkg-voip.buildserver.net/debian/pool/main/m/ming/
may tell you otherwise. That's what I meant with "I just hacked together
what was needed"

Sounds nice. Keep us posted as soon as there's updates to look at. ;)

yes, they're refered to in that listing, but you may aswell just take
the above URL from the pool/...

well, as long as op-panel build-depends against a modern version of ming
and ming-fonts, there is clearly a demand AFAICT. ;)
Just let us know if there's anything we can help you with.
