NAME
update-fonts-alias - compile fonts.alias files
SYNOPSIS
update-fonts-alias
[OPTION]
directory ...
DESCRIPTION
update-fonts-alias
assembles a
fonts.alias
file in an X font directory using one or more alias files found in a
subdirectory of
/etc/X11/fonts/.
It is typically invoked only from the post-installation and post-removal
scripts of a
package
containing X Window System fonts that provide aliases for their XLFD names,
but may be invoked at any time to reconstruct
fonts.alias
files.
For each
directory,
which is simply the last component of its path (such as oq75dpicq or
oqmisccq),
update-fonts-alias
will assemble either
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/directory/fonts.alias
or
/usr/share/fonts/X11/directory/fonts.alias
from the files found in
/etc/X11/fonts/directory/package.alias.
This enables multiple packages to provide aliases for fonts in the same
directory.
No font package actually provides the
fonts.alias
file in the X font directory itself, so there is no danger of overwriting
one package's aliases with those of another.
For instance, the two packages oqxfonts-basecq and
oqxfonts-base-transcodedcq may both install fonts into the directory
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc.
They each place their
fonts.alias
files in
/etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias
and
/etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base-transcoded.alias
(respectively).
update-fonts-alias
concatenates these two files (as well as any others that match
/etc/X11/fonts/misc/*.alias)
into
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias.
The format of
fonts.alias
files is described in the
mkfontdir(1x)
manual page.
An example of how to use
update-fonts-alias
in package maintainer scripts is provided in the Debian Policy Manual.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
displays a brief usage message and exits.
OPERANDS
update-fonts-alias
takes one or more X font directory names to operate on as operands.
Only the final path component of the directory name should be specified;
e.g.,
update-fonts-alias 75dpi
is correct, while
oqupdate-fonts-alias /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpicq
and
oqupdate-fonts-alias /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpicq
are not.
ENVIRONMENT
COLUMNS
indicates the width of the terminal device in character cells.
This value is used for formatting diagnostic messages.
If not set, the terminal is queried using
stty(1)
to determine its width.
If that fails, a value of oq80cq is assumed.
DIAGNOSTICS
Errors
usage error: one or more font directories must be provided
update-fonts-alias
was invoked without operands.
Supply one or more X font directory names to operate on.
usage error: unrecognized option
update-fonts-alias
was invoked with an unrecognized option argument.
Use only the options documented in lqOPTIONSrq, above.
fatal error: path to X font directory must be used
A directory name was supplied that was not an X font directory name.
Supply X font directory names only.
Warnings
warning: absolute path directory was provided
Usage of absolute paths is deprecated.
Use only the final component of the X font directory name for
directory.
warning: directory does not exist or is not a directory
The supplied
directory
was invalid.
update-fonts-alias
skipped it.
EXIT STATUS
0
update-fonts-alias
ran successfully.
1
update-fonts-alias
experienced a fatal error; see the section on diagnostic messages above.
2
update-fonts-alias
was invoked with invalid arguments.
