The main intention behind mk-tex-fontpack (see <URL:http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-tex/make-texfontpkg/trunk/scripts/>) is to ease the installation of Type 1 fonts for TeX, which needs several other files beside the fonts themselfs. However, it also registers the fonts with X11 and defoma in the following way: * PFB and AFM files are installed in /usr/share/fonts/type1/$packname * links pointing from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 to PFB and AFM files are created * a fonts.scale (created via mkfontscale or type1inst) is installed as /etc/X11/fonts/Type1/$packname.scale and activated via dh_installxfonts * a defoma-hints file (created via defoma-hints --no-questionin) is palced as debian/$packname.defoma-hints and activated via dh_installdefoma One has to keep in mind that the autogenerated fonts.scale and defoma-hints files are often bad. That is ok for mk-tex-fontpack since its main purpose is fonts for TeX. But if one want to install only for use with X11/defoma, one ought to carefully review these files. cheerio ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
