The xfonts-traditional package introduced new or modified debconf templates. This is often a good moment for a review to help the package maintainer following the general suggested writing style and track down typos and errors in the use of English language. A bug report has been sent against the package: 658416 If someone wants to pick up this review, please answer to this mail, in the mailing list, with an [ITR] (Intent To Review) label. The templates file is attached. To propose the file you reviewed for peer review, please send a [RFR] (Request For Review) mail with the reviewed file attached...then a few days later, when no more contributions come, a summary mail with a [LCFC] (Last Chance For Comments) label. These RFR and LCFC mails should CC the opened bug report. Finally, after no more comments coming to the LCFC mail, you can send the reviewed templates file in the bug report. Then, please notify the list with a last mail using a [BTS] label with the bug number. Helping the package maintainer to deal with induced translation updates at that moment will be nice. If you're not comfortable with that part of the process, please hand it off to a translator. --
Template: xfonts-traditional/generate Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Generate traditional versions of fonts? xfonts-traditional can automatically generate traditional versions (with foundry "Trad" instead of "Misc" of all fonts for which it has an idea about the glyphs. (Currently this is versions of 6x13, aka "fixed"). . But you may prefer not to do this automatically, and would rather just have the tool installed. Template: xfonts-traditional/reconfigure-xterm Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Configure xterm to use traditional font? You can have the xterm default UTF-8 font changed to the traditional version. . If you approve, I will edit /etc/X11/app-default/XTerm for you, and save your old file as XTerm.backup.not-trad. (Note that this is a conffile so you may get prompts from dpkg about it in the future.) . Alternatively, if you do not want me to change the default, I will generate XTerm.trad for you to do what you like with. . To revert the change, simply change the key "*VT100.utf8Fonts.font" back from "-trad-..." to "-misc-...", or rename the old file back into place. Template: xfonts-traditional/remap-fixed Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Configure system to use traditional "fixed"? You can have the font alias "fixed" remapped to the traditional version. . If you approve, I will edit /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias for you, and save your old file as xfonts-base.alias.backup.not-trad. (Note that this is a conffile so you may get prompts from dpkg about it in the future.) . Alternatively, if you do not want me to change the default, I will generate xfonts-base-alias.trad for you to do what you like with. . To revert the change to the default, simply change the alias "fixed" back from "-trad-..." to "-misc-...", or rename the old file back into place. Template: xfonts-traditional/confirm-break-remove Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Remove anyway, breaking "fixed" and your X server? Removing xfonts-traditional would break your X server by removing "fixed". . You should not remove xfonts-traditional while "fixed" refers to one of its fonts. You probably want to check the differences between the various /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias*, reconcile any changes, and then run "update-fonts-alias misc". After that you can retry the removal.

Description: Traditional fixed-width fonts for X
Provides "traditional" versions of fixed-width fonts.
.
These are a set of 6x13 fonts (including "fixed"), with foundry name
"trad" instead of "misc", with several glyphs replaced with earlier
versions from before Markus Kuhn's changes:
- balanced ` '
- less tall [ ] ( ) { }
- centred *
- high ~
- slightly higher &
- traditional appearance of W a
.
These changes make the fonts compatible with the US-ASCII character
set. (UTF-8 is not compatible with ASCII in its usage of the
backquote and some other characters.) With these fonts, pre-2000
documents (including ASCII art and GNU manuals) will render
correctly.
.
Optionally, this package will edit your system configuration to make
the default fonts used by xterm refer to the traditional font.
.
(This package does not actually contain the bulk of the font data;
rather, it automatically generates the required modified fonts for
each relevant font you have installed.)
