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/reconfigure-xterm Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Configure xterm to use traditional font? You can have the xterm default UTF-8 font changed to the traditional version. . If you approve, I will edit /etc/X11/app-default/XTerm for you, and save your old file as XTerm.backup.not-trad. (Note that this is a conffile so you may get prompts from dpkg about it in the future.) . Alternatively, if you do not want me to change the default, I will generate XTerm.trad for you to do what you like with. . To revert the change, simply change the key "*VT100.utf8Fonts.font" back from "-trad-..." to "-misc-...", or rename the old file back into place. Template: xfonts-traditional/remap-fixed Type: boolean Default: false _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.backup.not-trad. (Note that this is a conffile so you may get prompts from dpkg about it in the future.) . 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. Template: xfonts-traditional/confirm-break-remove Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Remove anyway, breaking "fixed" and your X server? Removing xfonts-traditional would break your X server by removing "fixed". . 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.
