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"? You can have the font alias "fixed" remapped to the traditional version. . If you approve, 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. . Alternatively, if you do not want me to change the default, I will generate xfonts-base-alias.trad for you to do what you like with. . To revert the change to the default, simply change the alias fixed back from "-trad-..." to "-misc-...", or rename the old file back into place.
