Infinality package for Debian

This repo is a fork of Andrew Gunnerson's repo, only to add installation instruction.

Introduction

Infinality is a collection of patches aiming to provide better font rendering and customization, and thus fixing this problem for GNU/Linux distros. Go for its homepage for further information.

Installation instruction

Thanks to Hadrons for his excellent post, we could now install Infinality on Debian in a couple of simple steps:

## su sucks, sudo rocks

# Install the basic requirement: Git and devscripts
sudo aptitude install git devscripts

# Clone the repo
cd /any/dir/
git clone https://github.com/cmpitg/infinality-debian-package.git

# Install and build dependencies
cd infinality-debian-package/freetype-infinality/
dpkg-checkbuilddeps
cd ../fontconfig-infinality/
dpkg-checkbuilddeps
# Then install them all

# Build the package
cd ../freetype-infinality/
./build.sh
cd ../fontconfig-infinality/
./build.sh

# Install all the .deb files
cd ../
sudo dpkg -i \
    freetype-infinality/*.deb \
    fontconfig-infinality/*.deb

# reboot and enjoy
sudo reboot

Then tweak your settings:

• bash /etc/fonts/infinality/infctl.sh setstyle
• Edit /etc/profile.d/infinality-settings.sh.

Hmmm, I don't know. I found nothing in the original repo.
