Package: fontconfig Version: 2.11.0-5 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The GNUstep art backend (gnustep-backN-art) uses the system fonts in the "nfont" format; they are generated by mknfonts.tool in gnustep-back-common's postinst based on the info fc-list provides.
However, if a font package is installed or removed, currently there is no way to reflect that. We can't use file triggers in the way fontconfig does, because dpkg does not guarantee the order in which it processes triggers (gnustep-back-common's triggers may be processed before fontconfig's which would be useless). If fontconfig activates an explicit dpkg trigger when it regenerates the cache, we can use it to take action accordingly. Trivial patch attached. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=bg_BG.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=bg_BG.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages fontconfig depends on: ii fontconfig-config 2.11.0-5 ii libc6 2.18-7 ii libexpat1 2.1.0-5 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-5 ii libfreetype6 2.5.2-1 fontconfig recommends no packages. fontconfig suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * fontconfig/hinting_type: Autohinter * fontconfig/enable_bitmaps: false * fontconfig/subpixel_rendering: Never
