font_bdf_to_otb <output.otb> [input1.bdf...]: Converts and merges one or more BDF font files into a single OpenType Bitmap (OTB) font using x11-apps/fonttosfnt. If no input files are specified, uncompressed BDF is read from stdin.
font_wrap_opentype_compat: Converts .bdf and .pcf fonts detected within ${ED} to the OTB wrapper format using x11-apps/fonttosfnt. Handles optional .gz extension.
font_xfont_config [directory]: Generate Xorg font files (mkfontscale/mkfontdir).
font_fontconfig: Install fontconfig conf files given in FONT_CONF.
font_cleanup_dirs: Remove font directories containing only generated files.
font_pkg_setup: The font pkg_setup function. Collision protection
font_src_compile: The font src_compile function. Converts BDF fonts to OTB when FONT_OPENTYPE_COMPAT is enabled.
font_src_install: The font src_install function.
font_pkg_postinst: The font pkg_postinst function.
font_pkg_postrm: The font pkg_postrm function.

FONT_SUFFIX = ${FONT_SUFFIX:-} (required): Space delimited list of font suffixes to install.
FONT_S: Directory containing the fonts. If unset, ${S} is used instead. Can also be an array of several directories.
FONT_PN = ${FONT_PN:-${PN}}: Font name (ie. last part of FONTDIR).
FONTDIR = ${FONTDIR:-/usr/share/fonts/${FONT_PN}}: Full path to installation directory.
FONT_CONF = ( "" ): Array containing fontconfig conf files to install.
FONT_OPENTYPE_COMPAT: Determines whether detected BDF and PCF font files should be converted to an SFNT wrapper, for use with newer Pango.
FONT_DEPEND = " (generated by eclass): Contains dependencies on mkfontscale and encodings in *DEPEND format needed for font_xfont_config.
FONT_AUTO_DEPEND ?= yes (set before inherit): Set to 'no' to disable automatically adding USE=X and FONT_DEPEND to BDEPEND. This allows ebuilds to handle dependencies or X font generation conditionally under their own USE flag or unconditionally.
