There is now a Debconf question about this. + +If you wish to enable bitmapped fonts manually, either reconfigure this +package (with dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig), or remove the +symbolic link /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-debconf-no-bitmaps.conf + +***************** + + +How fonts are handled in Debian: +-------------------------------- + +Fontconfig is a library which handles font configuration and access at +the system level. It is the foundation for a new font handling in X +applications (but can also be useful without X). + +Applications not using fontconfig are accessing their fonts through +the X server. Font packages for these applications are named xfonts-*. +You can also use TrueType fonts with these applications if you install +the x-ttcidfont-conf package, which connects the X server to defoma: +fonts included in ttf-* packages or added manually using dfontmgr can +then be used in these programs. +A few of these applications, using Xft1, can benefit of antialiasing +with vector fonts, but it is deprecated. + +The new font renderer in XFree86 is called freetype2, and applications +using it access fonts on the client side. Most of them (including all +GTK2/GNOME2 and KDE3 applications) do it using fontconfig, which +provides listing and matching facilities for all fonts installed on the +system. Any font installed in /usr/share/fonts or ~/.fonts will be +accessible to these applications. This is now also true for fonts added +using defoma. +These programs can all benefit from antialiasing, autohinting and +sub-pixel rendering. You can configure it through fontconfig, using +debconf (dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig), or by changing +links in /etc/fonts/conf.d by hand. + +Original text by: + -- Josselin Mouette Wed, 8 Oct 2003 21:51:35 +0200 + +Changes for fontconfig 2.3 packages by: + -- Keith Packard Thu, 10 Mar 2005 13:29:11 -0800 -- cgit v1.2.3
