I have been working on the xfstt package to take it over. Until a few days ago there was only one bug of "Wishlist" priority filed against it which is now ready to close as soon as I am able to upload files (ie am finished registering as a debian package maintainer et al) It now makes a pid file in var run like a "good little deamon" and can be started and stoped form a scipt in /etc/init.d however this new bug has been reported...and I am looking for comments about how to fix this one. The new bug states the xfstt keeping the true type fonts in /var/ttfonts is a violation of both the FHS and the FSSTND I agree with this...now that I think about it...this IS a violation (unfortunatly...bad news...I lost my printed copy of the FHS and the FSSTND I will be printing up new copies soon tho) any thoughts on wher ethe true type fonts should go? what would be a good directory for them? I e-mailed the upstream author and he said:
> Check out the new --dir option. Maybe the best place would be near > the other X11 fonts: /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/ttf, but I'm sure this > would cause a bit confusion for some users who would put this > directory into their fontpath. > So any ideas (he is planning to leave the upstream source as keeping it in /usr/ttfonts ...right now I would say our version uses choe the lesser evil) where ould be a good place for fonts that woul dnot (hopefully) confuse users too much? Once I decide maybe I shoul dput a check in the preinst that will detect the /var/ttfonts and move it to the new place (shoul dthat step require user interaction???) your ideas and comments are apreciated -Steve -- PGP Key at: http://www.gis.net/~sjc/pgp.asc (BTW Thanx allot Noah for pointing out why putting my pgp key here was a bad idea...now I hafta find a new funny quote or something for here) "Ummm, me make *one* change.
