NAME

6       dh_installxfonts - register X fonts
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dh_installxfonts [debhelper options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       dh_installxfonts is a debhelper program that is responsible for
13       registering X fonts, so their corresponding fonts.dir, fonts.alias, and
14       fonts.scale be rebuilt properly at install time.
15
16       Before calling this program, you should have installed any X fonts
17       provided by your package into the appropriate location in the package
18       build directory, and if you have fonts.alias or fonts.scale files, you
19       should install them into the correct location under etc/X11/fonts in
20       your package build directory.
21
22       Your package should depend on xfonts-utils so that the update-fonts-*
23       commands are available. (This program adds that dependency to
24       ${misc:Depends}.)
25
26       This program automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands
27       needed to register X fonts. These commands are inserted into the
28       maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an
29       explanation of how this works.

NOTES

32       See update-fonts-alias(8), update-fonts-scale(8), and
33       update-fonts-dir(8) for more information about X font installation.

35       See Debian policy, section 11.8.5. for details about doing fonts the
36       Debian way.
