• description, homepage, repository, and license
• for packages in the installed state, a summary of the installed font families

With --include-files, info also shows the fonts directory and the installed font files for packages in the installed state.

Notes

• info reads the local package database and does not search package registries.
• Use activate or deactivate when you want to change a package’s activation state.
• Use repair when you want to clean up packages left by incomplete operations.
• Use search when you want to inspect packages that are available in a package registry but not yet installed.
