description
dh_installxfonts
is a debhelper program that is responsible for registering X
fonts, so their corresponding fonts.dir,
fonts.alias, and fonts.scale be rebuilt
properly at install time.
Before calling
this program, you should have installed any X fonts provided
by your package into the appropriate location in the package
build directory, and if you have fonts.alias or
fonts.scale files, you should install them into the
correct location under etc/X11/fonts in your package
build directory.
Your package
should depend on xfonts-utils so that the
update-fonts-* commands are
available. (This program adds that dependency to
${misc:Depends}.)
This program
automatically generates the postinst and
postrm commands needed to register X fonts. These
commands are inserted into the maintainer scripts by
dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an
explanation of how this works.
notes
See update-fonts-alias(8), update-fonts-scale(8),
and update-fonts-dir(8) for more information about X font
installation.
See Debian policy, section 11.8.5. for details about doing fonts
the Debian way.
