Hi folks,
I recently reviewed all the fonts installed on my system and found that
fontconfig cache does not include TeX OpenType or TrueType fonts installed under
/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/{open,true}type/, non-'Microsoft Corp' Windows fonts
including those labelled 'Microsoft supplied font', .TTF, .ttc, and .ot[cf], but
does cache those in the Windows/Fonts/Deleted subdirectory.
I run the attached permanent postinstall local script to pick up all those fonts
the official script does not, clean up old broken links, link the font files
into /usr/share/fonts/windows/ and /usr/share/fonts/{open,true}type/texmf-dist/
as appropriate, then mkfontscale fonts.scale and mkfontdir fonts.dir in each.
Please consider changing the official current stable permanent postinstall
script to include these font installation directories, plus any others that
maintainers may be aware of outside /usr/share/fonts/.
These would include fonts in Octave, Python, Ruby package directories: not all
in /usr/share/fonts/ or my texmf-dist links, and those are may be duplicated
>>> typo and those that are duplicated may be
from actual font packages, so would the best approach for these require the font
packages, provide a standard location font subpackage linked to the package
directory, or suggestions?
