Description Stanislav Brabec 2003-03-10 06:16:55 UTC

To get functionallity of font cache, it is requred to create
/var/cache/fonts/ls-R (which includes already existing fonts) and make it world
writable.

Recommended actions after merging:
mktexlsr /var/cache/fonts # or complete mktexlsr
chmod og+rw /var/cache/fonts/ls-R
#updmap # optional update maps, recommended after editing map configuration

Optionally you can set permissions of /var/cache/fonts to world-writable sticky
(mktex scripts does the same for all created sub-directories).

Finally, /usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg and /usr/share/texmf/web2c/*.cnf
should be also CONFIG_PROTECTed.

Reproducible: Always

is this still an issue with tetex-2, mktexslr is called during postinst for that. and config_protect is easily fixable, thanks.
