Yes, defoma aka "Debian Font Manager". When you install a new font, it handles setting up symlinks and such so that you can just point X at /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType, and leave it alone. Without defoma, you'd have to point X at wherever fonts installed themselves, and update the various fonts.* files that live next to the fonts. The only really neccessary step seems to be adding that one line to XF86Config-4. fontconfig seems to come setup correctly out of the box, X will put Type1 done the bottom all by itself, and the unscaled thing doesn't seem to have any effect anymore. -- Rob Weir <rweir@ertius.org> | mlspam@ertius.org | Do I look like I want a CC?
