The Small Fonts Package 0.1 (Default branch)
5x9 and 5x10 are two X11 fonts intended for use with xterm or other programs requiring readable small fonts. At only 5 pixels wide, they are particularly well suited to small laptop screens, allowing two 80 column windows side by side on an 800x600 screen (albeit with no room for window frames), or three windows across with room to spare on a 1280x1024 screen. The fonts implement VT100 line-drawing characters. Bolding is not directly supported; xterm does adequate bolding by duplicating pixels. Image

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.
