Description:
On a fresh installed Arch I got the follwing error trying to install "terminus-font" (german):
[ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /tmp/alpm_bKCuFb/.INSTALL: Zeile 2: pushd: etc/fonts/conf.d: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
[ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /tmp/alpm_bKCuFb/.INSTALL: Zeile 4: popd: Der Verzeichnisstapel ist leer.
[ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /tmp/alpm_bKCuFb/.INSTALL: Zeile 5: fc-cache: Kommando nicht gefunden.
[ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /tmp/alpm_bKCuFb/.INSTALL: Zeile 6: mkfontscale: Kommando nicht gefunden.
[ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /tmp/alpm_bKCuFb/.INSTALL: Zeile 7: mkfontdir: Kommando nicht gefunden.

Additional info:
If I install "ttf-dejavu" first, no errors occur.
Take a look at "terminus-font.install":
"fc-cache", "mkfontscale", "mkfontscale" are dependencies.
Also "etc/fonts/conf.d" directory is needed.

Steps to reproduce:
Install "terminus-font" on fresh installed (clean) Arch.
This task depends upon

Hi, thanks for reporting.

I will update the .install files to only perform the problematic steps if fc-cache, mkfontscale and mkfontscale are available.
It's nice to be able to install terminus on headless servers without dragging along X.

It is likely that terminus should really be two packages. One for the ttf fonts and one for the others.

Will package this as a split package in the near future.

Added dependencies on X back. Postponng creating a split package. The other font-packages install for X and console and requires X.
