Yikes, I was unaware of this. You mean the two backends use the same name for two different file formats? Need I point out how dumb that is? Anyway, please post examples of each style of font.scale. I imagine the ones for the freetype backend are in the traditional format: 44 a010013l.pfb -urw-urw gothic l-book-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 a010015l.pfb -urw-urw gothic l-demibold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 [...] > If the user choses freetype for the backend, all fonts.scale files for > installed TrueType fonts must be ones for freetype backend. > If the user changes the backend to xtt, all fonts.scale files must be > replaced with ones for xtt backend. How gross. Whoever decided that xtt should use the same filename for a different format needs a large piece of lumber driven broadside into his skull. Anyway, the idea that springs to mind is perhaps to have two files generated by update-fonts-scale: fonts.scale.xc (for "X Consortium", the traditional format) fonts.scale.xtt (for "X-TrueType") And then have fonts.scale in each directory symlink to one of those files. I'm still thinking about how the decision about which one to symlink to should be made. Maybe a debconf template. Alternatively, Debian could modify its xtt implementations to use "fonts.scale.xtt" directly. -- G.
