According to www.rpmfind.net, Red Hat's XFree86-truetype-fonts package contains: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/encodings.dir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/fonts.alias /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/fonts.dir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/fonts.scale /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luximb.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luximbi.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luximr.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luximri.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luxirb.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luxirbi.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luxirr.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luxirri.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luxisb.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luxisbi.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luxisr.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luxisri.ttf > * The name of a Red Hat package is not particularly meaningful. > * As far as I've been able to tell I'm shipping just about everything > new that there is to ship. > * Do you read debian-devel, debian-legal, or Debian Weekly News?
