+libwmf-type1-fonts (URW base 35 postscript fonts for libwmf)
+
+These Type 1 fonts are required for Slackware's libwmf package to be
+able to render text. They're installed to /usr/share/libwmf/fonts, so
+they're not available for other uses.
+
+Installing this package allows Slackware's Gimp to be able to display
+WMF (Windows MetaFiles) with embedded text, instead of giving an error
+message when it tries. It also allows qiv (from SBo) to display them.
