But you may prefer not to do this automatically, and would rather
just have the tool installed.

+Default: false
+_Description: Configure system to use traditional "fixed"?
+ I can remap the font alias "fixed" to the traditional version.

+ If you approve, I will edit /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias for

+Type: boolean
+Default: false
+_Description: Remove xfonts-traditional, breaking "fixed" and your X server?
+ Removing xfonts-traditional would break your X server by removing "fixed".
.
- To revert this change, simply change the alias fixed back from
- "-trad-..." to "-misc-...", or rename the old file back into place,
- and dpkg-reconfigure xfonts-base-traditional.
+ You should not remove xfonts-traditional while "fixed" refers to one
+ of its fonts. You probably want to check the differences between the
+ various /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias*, reconcile any changes,
+ and then run "update-fonts-alias misc". After that you can retry the
+ removal.
