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.

# Reassigning the following to libxft2 in case it still occurs:
reassign 136527 libxft2
thanks
I'm closing the following bugs which are obsolete because libXft1 is no
longer shipped, and libXft2 no longer uses /etc/X11/Xft:
#163634: libxft1: SEGV when encountering surprising spaces in
/etc/X11/XftConfig
#97506: libxft1: want antialiasing excluded from fonts where 8 < size <
15 by default in /etc/X11/XftConfig
#88054: libxft1: want a mechanism for packages to update directories
listed in /etc/X11/XftConfig
#171787: libxft1: please automatically register TrueType fonts in
/etc/X11/XftConfig
#207976: libxft1: support modular configuration of /etc/X11/XftConfig
through include directives
I'm also closing this bug because the test case for it is no longer
compilable even in Sarge:
#101055: libxft1: SEGV when calling XAddExtension() from
_XftDisplayInfoGet()
regards,
