It means that if you created an SSH key with Ubuntu Feisty, Ubuntu Gutsy, Ubuntu Hardy or Debian Etch you need to update an important OpenSSL file and regenerate your key ASAP.

There have been changes in the newest version of GNOME that affects the way fonts are installed in Ubuntu Hardy, but thanks to wild_oscar in the Ubuntu Forums we have a link to information you will find very helpful.
Tombuntu has published an article entitled How to Install Fonts in Ubuntu 8.04 that will help you install the Mac4Linfonts, as well as any other font you need in Ubuntu Hardy.
Big thanks to wild_oscar for sharing that link with us in the forums.
