These fonts are files...they would be "provided" The problem is that most truetype fonts have licences that are really braindead (like "non-comercial use" even shareware...and worst) > > In the second case, the postinst should probably not move them from one > directory to another one because then dpkg would get confused when > upgrading or removing the package containing the fonts (the right solution > here would be to upload a new release of the package containing the > fonts). There is (right now) no package containing fonts (in fact the fonts that I use with xfstt come right from the Windows Directory that I used to have...before I went completly linux) I figured that if I add the script to move them now...while no such package exists its not really a problem...tho maybe your right... in any case I need to change xfstt to look somewhere else...hmm -Steve > In the first case, I'm not sure... > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: 2.6.3ia > Charset: latin1 > > iQCVAgUBNWazJiqK7IlOjMLFAQExZAP/eu1sU88icnZMOcrbg+LDoJ59A+EXPkAZ > YadFaxoWYFlf8q2X7joZbcweinF8WBkQeIpURAQhxSbEVAe6sCDRM9/YezuMeCke > s65+4SIPr7+yZjKHkI+g9hG3OGlhqR+qkwFc9SkyQMfPoIlhSHuiHDMp5lW7XLFj > 2gJqsakWSmE= > =1pTc > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** "We do everything by custom, even belive by it; our very axioms, let us boast of free-thinking as we may, are oftenest simply such beliefs as we have never questioned" --Thomas Carlyle
