Hi Till,

Can you provide more explanations about this file (introduced in
1.0.19)?

I think the file listed above is should probably be installed as
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/99pdftoopvp.conf, with a symlink to it in
conf.d.

At least, /etc/fonts/conf.d/README says that this how it is normally
done, and all but one of the *other* conf files in my conf.d do this.
(The remaining file is also a symlink, but points elsewhere.)

I don't see a reason to do differently, I'll see if I can prepare a
patch soon.


No problem, please do.

I do not really no for what this file is good. It simply came in with the pdftoopvp filter which was hosted separately before the introduction of cups-filters.

If it turns out to be vital that this not be done with
99pdftoopvp.conf, it would be a good idea to add a comment explaining
why to the file.

(It would also be nice if there was a comment explaining what the
filename is supposed to mean, as it's really non-obvious even after
looking at the file. Comments explaining the problem(s) it solves
would also be quite welcome.)

Till: ^ that would need your enlightenment…


I do not really know. See above.

Otani-san, do you know what this file is good for?

   Till
