Package: enscript
Severity: wishlist
Version: 1.6.4-11
Currently, enscript(1) doesn't support Defoma-managed fonts for
--font, since being registered within Defoma doesn't imply that:
* there'll be an AFM file;
* the file will be linked to /usr/share/enscript/afm/;
* mkafmmap(1) will be ran.
It seems to me that the most simple solution would be to provide
a Defoma script (for /usr/share/defoma/scripts/), to symlink AFM
files as they're installed, or to use the `ttf2afm' utility
(provided by `texlive-font-utils') for .ttf files.
Alternatively, it may be worth implementing a generic
AFM-acquiring hook for enscript (say, an AFMGet: option, with
value to be passed to popen(3).) The default will then be to
run a script, which:
* will check AFMPath and font.map for a suitable file;
* if none found, will query Defoma for an AFM file matching
given fontname,
* and as a last resort, will try to find TTF (via Defoma) and
use the aforementioned `ttf2afm' utility on it.
(Though Defoma, at the first glance, doesn't seem to fit well
the two latter tasks.)
