Bug#673170: xfonts-100dpi: fonts not available until X restarted

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>]

Package: xfonts-utils
Version: 1:7.7~1
Files: /usr/sbin/update-fonts-dir

Hi,

Trying to address <http://bugs.debian.org/563250> (xvile appearance
wrong due to missing font), I installed xfonts-100dpi.  Alas:

	$ xmessage -fn lucidasans-10 It was the best of times
	Warning: Cannot convert string "lucidasans-10" to type FontStruct
	$ xlsfonts | grep lucida
	$

Restarting X makes the font show up.

xfonts-100dpi.postinst simply runs update-fonts-dir:

	$ cat $(dpkg-query --control-path xfonts-100dpi postinst)
	#!/bin/sh
	set -e
	# Automatically added by dh_installxfonts
	if which update-fonts-dir >/dev/null 2>&1; then
		update-fonts-dir --x11r7-layout 100dpi;update-fonts-alias --include /etc/X11/fonts/100dpi/xfonts-100dpi.alias 100dpi
	fi
	# End automatically added section

Should update-fonts-dir be informing X somehow to reread the fonts
dir?  Alternatively, if some other package is responsible for making
that happen, please feel free to reassign this bug.

Thanks,
Jonathan
