NAME

       update-canna-dics_dir - compile dics.dir file

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       update-canna-dics_dir  assembles  a  dics.dir  file  in	the  Canna  dictionary	using  one  or more alias files found in a subdirectory of
       /etc/X11/fonts/.  It is typically invoked only from the post-installation and post-removal scripts of a package containing fonts (that pro-
       vide  aliases  for  their names) for the X Window System, but may be invoked at any time to reconstruct fonts.alias files.  For each direc-
       tory, which is either an absolute path to an X font directory or (preferably) simply the last component of its path  (such  as  "75dpi"	or
       "misc"),  update-canna-dics_dir	will  assemble	/usr/lib/X11/fonts/directory/fonts.alias  from	the  files  found in /etc/X11/fonts/direc-
       tory/package.alias.

       This enables multiple packages to provide aliases for fonts in the same directory.  No font package actually provides the fonts.alias  file
       in the X font directory itself, so there is no danger of overwriting one package's aliases with those of another.

       For instance, the two packages "xfonts-base" and "xfonts-cjk" may both install fonts into the directory /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc.  They each
       place their fonts.alias files in /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias and  /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-cjk.alias  (respectively).   update-
       canna-dics_dir	 concatenates	 these	 two   files   (as   well   as	 any   others	that   match   /etc/X11/fonts/misc/*.alias)   into
       /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias.

       The format for fonts.alias files is given in the mkfontdir(1) manual page.

       An example of how to use update-canna-dics_dir in package maintainer scripts is provided in the Debian Policy Manual.
