Choosing a font manager
Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:00:00 GMT
With libraries of thousands of fonts to handle, designers need a way to quickly locate fonts and organize them into meaningful categories -- such as by the project that requires them -- and to disable fonts when they are not in use so that they don't clog system memory. Although as recently as two years ago the GNU/Linux desktop lacked a font manager that met all these needs, it now has four that either meet them or are likely to.

dh_installxfonts
DH_INSTALLXFONTS(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLXFONTS(1)
NAME
dh_installxfonts - register X fonts
SYNOPSIS
dh_installxfonts [debhelperoptions]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installxfonts is a debhelper program that is responsible for registering X fonts, so their corresponding fonts.dir, fonts.alias, and
fonts.scale be rebuilt properly at install time.
Before calling this program, you should have installed any X fonts provided by your package into the appropriate location in the package
build directory, and if you have fonts.alias or fonts.scale files, you should install them into the correct location under etc/X11/fonts in
your package build directory.
Your package should depend on xfonts-utils so that the update-fonts-* commands are available. (This program adds that dependency to
${misc:Depends}.)
This program automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands needed to register X fonts. These commands are inserted into the
maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how this works.
NOTES
See update-fonts-alias(8), update-fonts-scale(8), and update-fonts-dir(8) for more information about X font installation.
See Debian policy, section 11.8.5. for details about doing fonts the Debian way.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
