* Henrique de Moraes Holschuh [Fri, 28 Apr 2006 00:31:53 -0300]: Hi Henrique, Can't exec /usr/bin/mkcfm: No such file or directory at /var/lib/defoma/scripts/x-ttcidfont-conf.defoma line 791. There are two errors there: it cannot find mkcfm (probably missing depends, or that utility is gone from unstable?), and also the opendir:... errors.

* Henrique de Moraes Holschuh [Thu, 01 Jun 2006 10:26:56 -0300]: Hi again, I don't, either. I just have them installed for the heck of it, believe it or not... Can you mention a package or two that ships such fonts? to package it [2] in the non-free section? If so, I'd make x-ttcidfont-conf Suggest: mkcfm, and invoke if it's installed. I am not intersted into taking care of yet another non-free package :( Okay, I guess I'll post a RFP, and maybe package it myself if nobody is interested. However, if the CID font packages will not work well without mkcfm, we should remove them all until someone steps to take care of non-free mkcfm (or writes a replacement one). Then the CID fonts can come back to either contrib (mkcfm in non-free) or main (new DFSG-compliant mkcfm implementation). Uh, this is a bigger jump. I don't think you can declare the fonts of no use if mkcfm is not in main. That I know, only x-ttcidfont-conf has broken, and I read somewhere (guess I could dig up the link) that mkcfm just creates an index of the font, and that without such indexes, the loading of the font it's way slower, but that's all. Thanks for the report, anyay. -- Adeodato Simó dato at net.com.org.es Debian Developer adeodato at debian.org He who has not a good memory should never take upon himself the trade of lying. -- Michel de Montaigne -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

If I have a single CID font here, it was certainly installed by a package :( use if mkcfm is not in main. That I know, only x-ttcidfont-conf has broken, and I read somewhere (guess I could dig up the link) that mkcfm just creates an index of the font, and that without such indexes, the loading of the font it's way slower, but that's all. I see. It is an usability issue, but certainly not something that would merit removing the CID font. I wonder if CID-keyed fonts are so widely used that they merit reimplementing mkcfm? I think the CJK people use them, but don't quote me on that. -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
