!!DESCRIPTION |
| |
|
20 |
|
| |
|
21 |
|
| |
|
22 |
__update-fonts-scale__ assembles a ''fonts.scale'' |
| |
|
23 |
file in an X font directory using one or more scale 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 scalable |
| |
|
27 |
fonts (whose X LFD font names are not in the font files |
| |
|
28 |
themselves) for the X Window System, but may be invoked at |
| |
|
29 |
any time to reconstruct ''fonts.scale'' files. For each |
| |
|
30 |
''directory'', which is either an absolute path to an X |
| |
|
31 |
font directory or (preferably) simply the last component of |
| |
|
32 |
its path (such as |
| |
|
33 |
''update-fonts-scale__ will assemble |
| |
|
34 |
''/usr/lib/X11/fonts/''directory''/fonts.scale'' from |
| |
|
35 |
the files found in |
| |
|
36 |
''/etc/X11/fonts/''directory''/''package''.scale''. |
| |
|
37 |
|
| |
|
38 |
|
| |
|
39 |
This enables multiple packages to provide names for fonts in |
| |
|
40 |
the same directory. No font package actually provides the |
| |
|
41 |
''fonts.scale'' file in the X font directory itself, so |
| |
|
42 |
there is no danger of overwriting one package's font names |
| |
|
43 |
with those of another. |
| |
|
44 |
|
| |
|
45 |
|
| |
|
46 |
For instance, the two packages |
| |
|
47 |
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1''. They each place their |
| |
|
48 |
''fonts.scale'' files in |
| |
|
49 |
''/etc/X11/fonts/Type1/xfonts-scalable.scale'' and |
| |
|
50 |
''/etc/X11/fonts/Type1/xfonts-nifty.scale'' |
| |
|
51 |
(respectively). __update-fonts-scale__ concatenates these |
| |
|
52 |
two files (as well as any others that match |
| |
|
53 |
''/etc/X11/fonts/Type1/*.scale'') into |
| |
|
54 |
''/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.scale''. |
| |
|
55 |
|
| |
|
56 |
|
| |
|
57 |
The format for ''fonts.scale'' files is given in the |
| |
|
58 |
mkfontdir(1) manual page. |
