Template: xfonts-traditional/generate Type: boolean Default: true Description: Generate traditional versions of fonts? xfonts-traditional can automatically generate traditional versions (with foundry "Trad" instead of "Misc" of all fonts for which it has an idea about the glyphs. (Currently this is versions of 6x13, aka "fixed"). . But you may prefer not to do this automatically, and would rather just have the tool installed. Template: xfonts-traditional/remap-fixed Type: boolean Default: true Description: Configure system to use traditional "fixed"? Would you like the font alias "fixed" remapped to the traditional version? . If you say "yes", I will edit /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias for you, and save your old file as xfonts-base.alias.not-trad. (Note that this is a conffile so you may get prompts from dpkg about it in the future.) This will also make the xfonts-traditional package harder to safely remove. . If you say no I will generate xfonts-base-alias.trad for you to do what you like with. . 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.
