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.
