Hi Joerg,

I've been trying to upgrade xorg-server and hitting the same problem
with ft_isdigit.  The file fttools.c in the libXfont subdirectory
won't compile.  I see that libXfont is also packaged separately by
itself.  Are you talking about that separate package, and how can
the problem be fixed by upgrading?  Upgrading what, exactly?

Thanks!
