Listmates,
Picking through the font configuration, I have run across a curiosity,
why do
the font directories have both a fonts.dir file and a fonts.scale file. The
page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_Font_Configuration suggests that
you run mkfontscale and mkfontdir on each of the directories. The related files
fonts.scale and fonts.dir are the same:
[20:52 supersff:/etc/fonts] # l /usr/local/share/fonts/
<snip>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43730 2009-04-28 20:52 fonts.dir
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43730 2009-04-28 20:52 fonts.scale
[20:52 supersff:/etc/fonts] # diff /usr/local/share/fonts/fonts.dir
/usr/local/share/fonts/fonts.scale
Why do we need both?
