stlarch-font-ibx point to wrong file #152

the postinstall install file say that you need read /usr/share/doc/stlarch_font wich is incorrect in the stlarch-font-ibx variant, it should say that for more info read /usr/share/doc/stlarch-font-ibx/README.stlarch

also, the install file with fc-cache command is still need now that you use a hook?

First of all, do we still have to keep the bitmap fonts in the repository? I remember these few packages were only to be added temporarily (I can't really recall what was the actual objective behind it: probably some ancient fontconfig issue that required an instant workaround). As such, bitmap fonts is something we should have dropped already: this is a deprecated format used by Xorg where scalable fonts were not implemented and they neither can nor will benefit from Infinality (and freetype itself).

If possible, would you mind obtaining stlarch-font from the AUR and testing it on your machine? I am using a custom built Xorg server without support for bitmap fonts so I would rather avoid reconfiguring my system.

I dont mind, go ahead and rem8ve the package, i cant even find the package in the pkgbuild branch that sure is a spbad sign.

I use it in for the status bar signs, nothing more so anything probiding the "letters" will be fine
