NAME

       dh_installxfonts - register X fonts

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installxfonts [debhelper options]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installxfonts is a debhelper program that is responsible for registering X fonts, so their
       corresponding fonts.dir, fonts.alias, and fonts.scale be rebuilt properly at install time.

       Before calling this program, you should have installed any X fonts provided by your package into the
       appropriate location in the package build directory, and if you have fonts.alias or fonts.scale files,
       you should install them into the correct location under etc/X11/fonts in your package build directory.

       Your package should depend on xfonts-utils so that the update-fonts-* commands are available. (This
       program adds that dependency to ${misc:Depends}.)

       This program automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands needed to register X fonts. These
       commands are inserted into the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an
       explanation of how this works.

NOTES

       See update-fonts-alias(8), update-fonts-scale(8), and update-fonts-dir(8) for more information about X
       font installation.

       See Debian policy, section 11.8.5. for details about doing fonts the Debian way.
