I was trying to re-emerge intlfonts to get some use flag changes and I get the following error: Installing /var/tmp/portage/intlfonts-1.2.1/image//usr/share/fonts/intlfonts/jksp40.pcf... /bin/sh: line 5: bdftopcf: command not found Making /var/tmp/portage/intlfonts-1.2.1/image//usr/share/fonts/intlfonts/fonts.dir... mkfontdir /var/tmp/portage/intlfonts-1.2.1/image//usr/share/fonts/intlfonts make: mkfontdir: Command not found make: *** [pcf] Error 127 I can emerge the two packages (and dependencies) manually and intlfonts will complete normally.

Per the bug summary change, I was also missing the x11-apps/mkfontdir dependency.
*** Bug 149639 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
well the eclass already pulls in mkfontdir and bdftopcf is a dependency of font-cursor-misc and font-misc-misc which are required for xorg, so i'm not sure why it wouldn't be installed. i've added the bdftopcf DEPEND anyways.
