Package: xlibs
Version: 4.3.0-0pre1v1
Severity: wishlist
The idea here is to let font package maintainers sweat the details of
XftConfig tweaking through an update-modules style approach.
We can have an update-xftconfig command:
update-xftconfig { --add | --remove } packagename
E.g.:
update-xftconfig --add xfonts-scalable
update-xftconfig --remove ttf-freefont
This command would add or remove lines of the following format from
/etc/X11/XftConfig (which would have to stop being a conffile):
includeif "/etc/X11/fonts/$package.xftconfig"
update-xftconfig --add would be called on package install, and
update-xftconfig --remove on package removal.
(As usual, the issue of preserving user modifications must be
addressed.)
This bug may need to be reassigned to libxft2 depending on how quickly
this gets implemented.
