[ddp] libxft1-dbg : FreeType-based font drawing library for X (version 1, unstripped)

[daily-debian-package at enix.org]

Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package libxft1-dbg, which
is part of the libdevel section, and maintained by Debian X Strike
Force <debian-x at lists.debian.org>. 

This package contains : FreeType-based font drawing library for X
(version 1, unstripped).

This package is useful to provide a backtrace with symbol names in a
debugger; this facilitates interpretation of core dumps, and aids in finding
logic errors in programs using this library (or the library itself).  The
library is installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/debug and can be used by placing that
directory in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable when the code to
be debugged is executed.

Note that development on this version of the Xft library has ceased.  This
package is provided to aid in debugging programs using it.  New code should
be written against Xft version 2, available in the libxft2, libxft2-dbg, and
libxft-dev packages.  Bugs found in this version of the Xft library are
unlikely to be fixed.

Non-programmers will likely have little use for this package.  See the
libxft1 package for further information.
