update-fonts-alias - compile fonts.alias files |
| |

__update-fonts-alias__ ''directory ...'' |

!!DESCRIPTION |
| |
|
20 |
|
| |
|
21 |
|
| |
|
22 |
__update-fonts-alias__ assembles a ''fonts.alias'' |
| |
|
23 |
file in an X font directory using one or more alias files |
| |
|
24 |
found in a subdirectory of ''/etc/X11/fonts/''. It is |
| |
|
25 |
typically invoked only from the post-installation and |
| |
|
26 |
post-removal scripts of a ''package'' containing fonts |
| |
|
27 |
(that provide aliases for their names) for the X Window |
| |
|
28 |
System, but may be invoked at any time to reconstruct |
| |
|
29 |
''fonts.alias'' files. For each ''directory'', which |
| |
|
30 |
is either an absolute path to an X font directory or |
| |
|
31 |
(preferably) simply the last component of its path (such as |
| |
|
32 |
''update-fonts-alias__ will assemble |
| |
|
33 |
''/usr/lib/X11/fonts/''directory''/fonts.alias'' from |
| |
|
34 |
the files found in |
| |
|
35 |
''/etc/X11/fonts/''directory''/''package''.alias''. |
| |
|
36 |
|
| |
|
37 |
|
| |
|
38 |
This enables multiple packages to provide aliases for fonts |
| |
|
39 |
in the same directory. No font package actually provides the |
| |
|
40 |
''fonts.alias'' file in the X font directory itself, so |
| |
|
41 |
there is no danger of overwriting one package's aliases with |
| |
|
42 |
those of another. |
| |
|
43 |
|
| |
|
44 |
|
| |
|
45 |
For instance, the two packages |
| |
|
46 |
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc''. They each place |
| |
|
47 |
their ''fonts.alias'' files in |
| |
|
48 |
''/etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias'' and |
| |
|
49 |
''/etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-cjk.alias'' (respectively). |
| |
|
50 |
__update-fonts-alias__ concatenates these two files (as |
| |
|
51 |
well as any others that match |
| |
|
52 |
''/etc/X11/fonts/misc/*.alias'') into |
| |
|
53 |
''/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias''. |
| |
|
54 |
|
| |
|
55 |
|
| |
|
56 |
The format for ''fonts.alias'' files is given in the |
| |
|
57 |
mkfontdir(1) manual page. |

| |
|
