Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Recent versions of xfree86 support TrueType fonts well.  Debian also has a
nice mechanism for managing these fonts.  The default XF86Config-4 file
produced by dexconf, however, does not allow these fonts to be used.
The attached patch fixes this.  If defoma has not been installed, I don't
believe that there is any problem, since X will ingore the missing
directories.

It might also be a good idea to make xserver-xfree86 suggest defoma, so
that everyone gets to enjoy the wonders of TrueType, right out of the box.

While we're at it, the defoma directories should probably be added to
the default xfs configuration.

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.
