This is the last call for comments for the review of debconf templates for xfonts-traditional. (as well as packages descriptions....but debconf templates are the most important thing to really agree about before we move to the next step: translations) The reviewed templates will be sent on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 to the package maintainer as a bug report and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag. --
Template: xfonts-traditional/generate Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Generate traditional versions of fonts? With xfonts-traditional it is possible to automatically generate traditional versions (with foundry "Trad" instead of "Misc") of all fonts where it is clear what needs to be done. Currently this means versions of 6x13, also known as "fixed". . But you may prefer just to have the tool installed and not to do this automatically. 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. . Choosing this option will modify /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm, preserving the old file as XTerm.backup.not-trad. As this is a configuration file, you may get prompts from dpkg about it in the future. . Alternatively, if you do not want to change the default, XTerm.trad will be created but not used. . 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"? The "fixed" font alias can be remapped to the traditional version. . Choosing this option will modify /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias, preserving the old file as xfonts-base.alias.backup.not-trad. As this is a configuration file, you may get prompts from dpkg about it in the future. . Alternatively, if you do not want to change the default, xfonts-base-alias.trad will be created but not used. . To revert the change, 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 xfonts-traditional, breaking "fixed" and the X server? Removing xfonts-traditional would break the X server by removing "fixed". . You should not remove xfonts-traditional while "fixed" refers to one of its fonts. You first need to check the differences between the various /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias*, reconcile any changes, and then run "update-fonts-alias misc".

Description: traditional fixed-width fonts for X
This package 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, as 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 the system's 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 that's installed.
