Of course, this means you take the responsibility of making sure that they stay in sync with your upgrades.
I didn't know dpkg-divert, thanks. At the moment I'm testing the tools, which seem to be made for handling fonts.scale in Debian . One is update-fonts-scale and the other x-ttcidfont-conf. The least is the one that overwrites /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/fonts.scale without warning nor backup :-( It only generates the iso8859-1 types, not the iso8859-15 for example that I need for the Euro-Symbol.
More flexible seems to be update-fonts-scale; I created a dir with my customized fonts.scale /etc/X11/fonts/TrueType/my-ttf-fonts.scale and by running
update-fonts-scale /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType(where the links to my ttf's reside) I get a font.scale with my entries there. The same you have to do with update-fonts-dir. Bad: x-ttcidfont-conf doesn't care about update-fonts-scale and both tools can't handle un-packaged fonts as Arial during an upgrade.
How to keep Fontmap.GS unchanged - no solution so far. Think it is easier to concatenate my textblock after each upgrade manually to be able to print truetype/Euro.
