[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Potential installation feature

wollman@EMILY.UVM.EDU (Garrett Wollman) (01/11/91)

One potential feature I'd like to see in the Andrew installation
process is the ability to split up the font generation process into
two parts:  fdb -> bdf, and bdf -> (many different) snf.  We are
working in an enviromnent where Andrew will be used by people running
(at least) three different servers, each requiring its own
server-natural format for fonts.  It is something of a pain,
presently, to have to

	manually do that sed command
	run fdbbdf
	rlogin to one of the target machines
	run bdftosnf
	...lather, rinse, repeat...

It would be very nice if I could put
#define FONTS_TO_BDF_ONLY 1
in my site.h file, and then just have to do the last step manually.
