Any chance of an optional postinst/pkgconfig to move fonts from |
| 22 |
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ to /usr/share/fonts and rebuild |
| 23 |
fonts.{dir,scale,cache*}/encodings.dir entries? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
How is this likely to impact on things like the KDE and it's Font |
| 26 |
Installer? It currently picks /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts as being the base |
| 27 |
for fonts (I guess a nasty symlink could be used as a worst case fix). |
