ttf-xfree86-nonfree-syriac for Debian ------------------------------------ These OpenType fonts are packaged using DeFoMa (Debian Font Manager) and fontconfig. In order to make them available for general use in X11, the following steps are required: i) Install the package x-ttcidfont-conf ii) Add the lines: FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID" to /etc/X11/XF86Config iii) Add the lines: dir "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" dir "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID" to /etc/X11/XftConfig iv) Restart X. v) You are done! Read the documentation of X font servers for how to include the output of x-ttcidfont-conf in those. The above is inspired in the text by Peter Hawkins for the ttf-freefont package. -- Jonas Smedegaard Fri, 13 Jun 2003 18:48:00 +0200
