Description MATSUU Takuto (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-30 00:40:36 UTC 
hi.

This is a simple terminal mode program for configuring the directories
in the X font server's path. It is mostly intended to be used
`internally' when ebuilds with fonts are added or removed, but it may be useful
as a stand-alone utility in some instances.

I patches this to support XF86Config.

I suggest media-fonts/chkfontpath.

Comment 3 Sean P. Kane 2003-06-04 19:25:52 UTC 
This is also "needed" by OpenOffice as it is one of the ways OpenOffice searches for fonts on a Linux system. See: http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/fontguide.html#5

I was about to create my own ebuild when I noticed this bug entry.

Thanks,
Sean

Note that as of right now this already needs to be updated to chkfontpath-1.9.10. There are two small changes to the patch that need to be made for it to work for the new version. I will upload it here.

Patch modified to work with version 1.9.10

Note that the ebuild simply needs to be renamed for it to work with the new
version.

I'm looking into adding this, this weekend

As for the patch, Graham (vladimir) wrote up a perl proggy to do all that, which I'd rather use instead of patching this.

added to portage.  Thanks guys.

Awesome to see this ebuild.
I'd had a workaround of:
http://m8y.org/downloads/chkfontpath
Just for OpenOffice.
But good to see an official ebuild that actually works :)

Is there any information available explaining why this package has been removed
from the tree?
