Hi,
While doing reviews of fonts packages in core, i got confused on
post and postun sections (to check) of those packages as they are
using chkfontpath and mkfontdir and ttmkfdir
There are two font system on X Window System. They are "X11 core font
system" and "Xft". While many newer applications such as GNOME/KDE
applications use Xft, not a few applications still require X11 core
font system.
%post
if [ -x /usr/bin/fc-cache ]; then
/usr/bin/fc-cache /usr/share/fonts
fi
This is Xft
umask 133
touch %{ttfontdir} 2> /dev/null && {
/usr/bin/ttmkfdir -d %{ttfontdir} -o %{ttfontdir}/fonts.scale
mkfontdir %{ttfontdir}
/usr/sbin/chkfontpath -q -a %{ttfontdir}
}
mkfontdir %{bmpfontdir} && /usr/sbin/chkfontpath -q -a %{bmpfontdir}
This is X11 core font system. So if the packager expects that
the fonts are used on X11 core font system, the procedure of
"mkfontdir" and so on are necessary.
