Package: pcf2bdf Version: 1.04-4 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch This is an idea for an /etc/mailcap entry to run pcf2bdf to display a pcf font file when on a text tty. The debian/mime file below is installed by debhelper to /usr/lib/mime/packages/pcf2bdf.
The mime type application/x-font-pcf is the same as gnome-font-viewer has in its /usr/share/applications/gnome-font-viewer.desktop. My bug 727171 asks for /etc/mime.types to give that for .pcf. The mime type can be given explicitly to "see" until then, see application/x-font-pcf:/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/charB08.pcf.gz => STARTFONT 2.1 FONT -Bitstream-Charter-Bold-R-Normal--11-80-100-100-P-69-ISO8859-1 ...
# No %s so get data on stdin. # Data conversion is one-pass so doesn't require seekable input. # Low priority so as to prefer a GUI font displayer like gnome-font-viewer. application/x-font-pcf; /usr/bin/pcf2bdf; copiousoutput; description=X11 Portable Compiled Format font; priority=2
