Droid Fonts 1.01-dfsg0maemo3
Font, used by Google's Android, with extensive style and language support
You may need to restart your Maemo device before the fonts will show
up in your available fonts list.
Also: this does not affect the fonts used by your theme.
The Droid family of fonts consists of Droid Sans, Droid Sans Mono and
Droid Serif. Each contains extensive character set coverage including
Western Europe, Eastern/Central Europe, Baltic, Cyrillic, Greek and
Turkish support. The Droid Sans regular font also includes support for
Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean support for
the GB2312, Big 5, JIS 0208 and KSC 5601 character sets respectively.
Droid was designed by Ascender's Steve Matteson to provide
optimal quality and comfort on a mobile handset when rendered in
application menus, web browsers and for other screen text.

Oh, that I do (run fc-cache) but that doesn't help programs utilizing maemo-launcher as it keeps a cached list of the fonts that were there when it started. Try it: Run Notes/X Terminal after installing (and not rebooting) and the Droid fonts will not show up there. Run leafpad (which does not use maemo-launcher) and notice the fonts showing up there, without requiring a reboot.
Umm... Theme maker themes have the call to flush the font caches. That should probably be added to the post-inst of this package. If I could only remember that out of heart... ;)

That involves restarting maemo-launcher. While it can be done without causing a reboot, I have had it making the whole tablet reboot on some occasions so I'd rather have the user reboot the device after install instead of me possibly making the device reboot, either way, and keep the install of Droid Fonts unfinished.
Is there some way to have these fonts available after install without a reboot?
