+ The font cache (fontcache) class generates the
+ proper post-installation and post-remove (postinst and postrm)
+ scriptlets for font packages.
+ These scriptlets call fc-cache (part of
+ Fontconfig) to add the fonts to the font
+ information cache.
+ Since the cache files are architecture-specific,
+ fc-cache runs using QEMU if the postinst
+ scriptlets need to be run on the build host during image creation.
+
+
+
+ If the fonts being installed are in packages other than the main
+ package, set
+ FONT_PACKAGES
+ to include the packages containing the fonts.

+ When a recipe inherits the

+ class, this variable identifies packages that contain fonts
+ the OpenEmbedded build system installs.
+ By default, installed fonts appear in the main package
+ (i.e. ${PN}).
+ Use this variable if fonts you need appear in a package
