File: /usr/share/doc/ttf-freefont/README.Debian
Package: ttf-freefont
Version: 20080323-3
Severity: wishlist
Regarding:
i) Install the package x-ttcidfont-conf
ii) Add the lines:
FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID"
to /etc/X11/XF86Config
iii) Add the lines:
dir "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
dir "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID"
to /etc/X11/XftConfig
iv) Restart X.
v) You are done!
Can't there be some files dropped into some directory upon
installation, read by some run-parts(8) program upon invocation, and
removed from that directory upon purge?
Wouldn't this be better that having the user edit files by hand upon
installation, and remembering to edit them by hand upon purge?
And isn't that one of the main points of having a Debian package system?
P.S., according to apt-file(1) search, /etc/X11/XF86Config and
/etc/X11/XftConfig are pure cruft(8)!
Well at least cruft(8) says they are "unexplained".
Well at least the former is called /etc/X11/xorg.conf these days.

Meanwhile, defoma has been obsoleted and removed from the Debian
archive. The README.Debian file has also been removed, accordingly.
