Bugzilla Bug 9473

Hey guys.

When I installed xfree-4.2.1 I didn't have my timezone set yet. If no timezone
is set and 'date' is called, something like this is shown:

>> "Tue Oct 22 09:50:05 Local time zone must be set--see zic manual". 

When, after the xfree emerge, '/etc/init.d/xfs start' is executed, the following
error occurs:

>> * Creating font cache...
>>    Fontconfig error: line 17: not well-formed (invalid token)
>>    Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file 

I found out this problem occurs because the timezone in line 17 of
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf was the same output as stated above, so I had to set my
timezone, do a `date` after that, then replaced the invalid date in
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf with the correct output of `date`.
I recommend /etc/init.d/xfs to contain a line or script that checks
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf, if it finds 'see zic manual' or something, replace the
invalid line (line 17) with a correct `date`-output.

Just my $0,02; good luck :)

This is something I keep forgetting.  We need to change the docs to set the
timezone *after* bootstrap, but *before* emerge system, as a few things
need you to have a valid timezone.

Collin ... would you be so kind.  If there is any issues, please ask,
hopefully somebody should know.

This should be fixed for fontconfig-2.0-r2 at least.  Removed the date
inclusion for fonts.conf ...
