[Bug 63930] Re: please backport to dapper

[Ivailo Stoyanov]

I am not sure if the requested backport is approriate here, because on
the NewInEtch page at DebianWiki[1] there is a note about removed
packages saying:

"* xfonts-base-transcoded (Etch is the first fully UTF-8 Debian release,
so there's no version of xfonts-base with legacy encodings anymore)"

As we know, Dapper Drake is also completely UTF-8, so the transcoded
fonts have been removed for a good reason (?), and the sources of the
problem with small EMACS fonts (Bug #45823) should perhaps be sought
elsewere (i.e. EMACS itself?).

I base this assumption also on the posted information that the fonts in
question display correctly with xfontsel (Bug #25591).
