# `file-in-discouraged-x11-font-directory`

For historical reasons, use of `PEX`, `CID`, `Speedo`, and `cyrillic` subdirectories of `/usr/share/fonts/X11` are permitted, but installation of files into these directories is discouraged. Support for the first three font types is deprecated or no longer available, and Cyrillic fonts should use the normal font directories where possible.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
