Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-12.1
Severity: wishlist
Debian now supports the usage of TrueType fonts very well and so it
might be a good thing to have the configure-script checking if defoma
and/or x-ttcidfont-conf are installed and, if so, add the standard
defoma FontPath lines to the Files section in /etc/X11/XF86config-4.
I'd appreciate it, and maybe others too to have TT capability from the
first start of X on :-)

Recent versions of dexconf don't write a Files section in the generated
xorg.conf, and the default font path built in the X server includes
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType.
I'm thus closing this bug.
