Description Roland Mainz 2004-04-17 10:38:46 UTC

RFE: There should be a build option to turn off building of the bitmap fonts.
Right now there are various flags like |BuildType1|, |BuildCID| etc. which
control whether the build systems steps into the subdirs in
xc/font/scaled/Type1, xc/font/scaled/CID, etc. or not... I think it would be
nice to have a similar flag for the bitmap fonts which can be set to |NO| on
demand (default value should be |YES|, e.g. no change in the default build).

Comment 1 Adam Jackson 2004-08-03 20:27:03 UTC

from xorgsite.def:

---
/*
 * To not build/install the 75dpi fonts, uncomment the following
 *
#define Build75DpiFonts         NO
 */

/*
 * To not build/install the 100dpi fonts, uncomment the following
 *
#define Build100DpiFonts        NO
 */
---

is this not what you want?

this option has been there for a while now.  if it's not doing what you want,
please reopen.

The various font Imake directives including those listed above work for
Red Hat in our builds for a long time now.
