Package: xutils Version: 4.1.0-16 Severity: important I am attempting to do the correct action with AbiWord. Since AbiWord needs all sorts of font crap done to it (which is a mess), I started out to do it all. Unfortunately, it says "edit fonts.scale and fonts.dir by hand for every directory and font ...", and there is NO WAY I AM GOING TO DO THAT for thousands of fonts I don't even know if I'm going to use all of; to fix that, it has to be automated. This is a whole bunch of symlinks underneath /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts. This problem should be fixed in AbiWord, and in Debian's configuration of AbiWord, but in the meanwhile, there is purpose to use update-fonts-scale to update all those fonts.scale files that mkfontdir doesn't know how to deal with. The arbitrary refusal of update-fonts-scale is obscene in this case, and not having an override option is abysmal.
