Install Infinality freetype and font settings for Debian

Install Infinality freetype and font settings for Debian


This is a guide how to install Infinality font settings for Debian testing and unstable.
The steps given here are provided by the package maintainer Xiao-Long Chen at github.
Make sure you have the development packages as needed.
1. Clone the git repo
git clone https://github.com/chenxiaolong/Debian-Packages.git
cd Debian-Packages/
2. Install the build dependencies. Run the following
command and install the packages it lists using apt-get/synaptic/etc.
cd freetype-infinality/
dpkg-checkbuilddeps
cd ../fontconfig-infinality/
dpkg-checkbuilddeps
3. Build the packages:
cd ../freetype-infinality/
./build.sh
cd ../fontconfig-infinality/
./build.sh
4. Install the deb files:
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i freetype-infinality/*.deb fontconfig-infinality/*.deb
You’ll need to reboot after installing the deb files. Enjoy the better
looking fonts!
I have built binaries packages for amd64 for jessie and wheezy you can grab the links at my post in Debian forums.
