If you update the gs4 port to use the fonts with the up-to-date
version numbers, then _you_ please explain that to the person, who
was annoyed by this, when I did that a release before ;)

Consensus between him and me was, that bumping the numbers should
only be made, if there are changes in the fonts. Although he would
have to fetch megabytes again and again without real need.

Ok, this affects only people with low bandwidth internet connection,
but why we should make them angry ?! ;-)
