Hi,
The section about X fonts probably needs some more updates for the new
X11R7. After reading bug#362820 I think the following changes are probably
required:
| 11.8.5 Packages providing fonts
| 9. fonts.alias and fonts.scale files, if needed, should be provided in the
| directory /etc/X11/fonts/fontdir/package.extension, where fontdir is the
The directory seems to be changed. Current X11 packages (e.g. xfonts-base)
install
their fonts into /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/fontdir/package.extension
| 10. Font packages must declare a dependency on xutils (>> 4.0.3) in
xfonts-utils is the new package name.
| 11. Font packages that provide one or more fonts.scale files as
| described above must invoke update-fonts-scale on each directory into
| 12. Font packages that provide one or more fonts.alias files as
| described above must invoke update-fonts-alias on each directory into
| 13. Font packages must invoke update-fonts-dir on each directory into
The update-fonts-{scale,alias,dir} commands may need to be called with
the --x11r7-layout flag to let the command know the new font directory
structure is used.
Regards,
robert
