Hello!
All brave people of you should test out new command-line font installer for gnome-print.
Bugreports are especially welcome, if you dare to delete old fontmap files first.
What is changed:
- old fontmap (if exists) is parsed, so you should not loose modified font settings
if upgrading gnome-print.
- you can specify arbitrary number of directories, that are searched for afm and pfb
files. Font are built up from matching pairs, if there are more than 2 file per
font, the ones with highest version numbers are used.
- all files are verified, and corresponding font is erased from map, if file is missing
or corrupted
So you should be able to constantly update your fontmap, simply by executing:
gnome-font-install --target=/usr/share/fontmap $dirname
to install new fonts from given directory
gnome-font-install --target=/usr/share/fontmap
to remove fonts corresponding to deleted files from map.
More to come soon
Best wishes,
Lauris Kaplinski
