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

Not really.  Run xset fp rehash after installing fonts, there's no way
for update-fonts-dir to know which (possibly remote) X server may want
to use the new fonts.
