Generate fake font cache for compressed fonts (!59) · Merge requests · Debian Installer / debian-installer

Kentaro Hayashi requested to merge kenhys/debian-installer:fake-fc-cache into master Jan 10, 2025

If language specific font is needed, but it was bundled without compression, it occupy extra "N" MiB. As a workaround, it might be better to use compressed font, but fc-cache doesn't support such a compressed font format.

Thus generate fake font cache in advance during building netboot-gtk image, then it will be used by gtk-font-set from GUI installer.
