So are there any reasons not to generate fonts.scale and fonts.dir (and
I guess also encodings.dir) at build time and include them in the font
package?
I thought we are already doing this...
e.g. from:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/devel/fonts-japanese/fonts-japanese.spec
-------------------------------------------------------------
# Create fonts.scale and fonts.dir
/usr/bin/mkfontdir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{bmpfontdir}
# for dummy
touch $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{basefontdir}/fonts.cache-1
touch $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{bmpfontdir}/fonts.cache-1
touch $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{bmpfontdir}/encodings.dir
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, so some are, however some are not, for example urw-fonts and
ghostscript-fonts are still generating fonts.dir and fonts.scale using
scriptlets, and since they do not have the proper requires for these scriptlets
this does not work, resulting in applications wanting to use urw-fonts through
the core fonts system failing.
I would be happy to file bugs against this, but first I would like to see some
guidelines about howto handle the core fonts files, as I see it there are 2
options:
-generate fonts.dir and fonts.scale at buildtime (preferred)
-generate them using scriptlets, and then the package MUST have
the necessary requires for these scripts

Hans
