[Bug 805752] Re: fontforge crashed with SIGSEGV in GImageRead_Png(): no change rebuild required

[Pietro]

hramrach or sladen, can you please post the command-line sequence for rebuilding the package?
As a non-tech user, I fear it could take me hours to figure out how to get ForntForge to work.
This page comes up right near the top with the Google string "Ubuntu 11.10 FontForge," so this is where us noobs will find the fix.
Thanks.
