Re: Using defoma for building package ?
Hi, if your program uses fontconfig to find the fonts, then you don't need defoma. Otherwise, install defoma-doc and have a look at /usr/share/doc/defoma-doc/defoma-script.html/ch2.html about how to get a list of the installed fonts and how to write your configuration file. In both cases you should depend on the font's package. Hope it helps, Ionut On Fri, 2006-04-28 at 11:06 +0200, artefact wrote: Hi, I am packaging a game, Wormux.

Using defoma for building package ?
Hi, I am packaging a game, Wormux. This game use the font DejaVuSans which is already a Debian package. How can I use Defoma (I think this is the tool to use for this) to get this font path when building my package so that it could depend on the DejaVuSans package rather than including the font in the wormux-data package. Or maybe does it exist a debhelper for this but I can not get is name... Note: I RTFM :-) and had a look at several others game package (penguin-racer, gltron and some others) and they all embbed the font files into the -data package.

Re: Using defoma for building package ?
Hi! * artefact [EMAIL PROTECTED] [060428 11:06]: I am packaging a game, Wormux. This game use the font DejaVuSans which is already a Debian package. How can I use Defoma (I think this is the tool to use for this) to get this font path when building my package so that it could depend on the DejaVuSans package rather than including the font in the wormux-data package. Or maybe does it exist a debhelper for this but I can not get is name... (Sorry, should have told that in my previous mail) One of my packages has a similar problem. I found it the easiest way to depend on the font package, preventing the font to be installed in my package, and creating a symlink to the font at the place where my programm expected the font to be. I hardcoded the path for the symlink, guessing fonts don't change their place very often. So no defoma magaic in my package.
