When starting /etc/init.d/xprint i get following message: find: `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts': No such file or directory /usr/lib/misc/xprint: ## WARNING: Can't find "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir", TrueType font support may not work. AFAIK this dir doesn't exist in Gentoo distro now. We need to make a symlink or patch original (rather old) xprint RH-styled init script. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 131857 [details, diff] patch for xorg-server-1.3.0.0 ebuild via symlink also works for 1.4
Comment on attachment 131857 [details, diff] patch for xorg-server-1.3.0.0 ebuild via symlink Why don't you fix the real issue instead of creating deprecated symlinks?
Do either /usr/X11 or /usr/X11R6 exist?

I was going to do it a little bit later. This was just a quickfix for me. There are 2 minor issues with xprint still not reported. I'll fix them, submit bugs/patches and then'll return to this one.
Created attachment 132035 [details, diff] xprint-encodings.dir.patch Try this. /usr/share/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir is provided by media-fonts/encodings, which is a dependency of anything that uses fonts.eclass.
Created attachment 133541 [details, diff] (hope) final patch slightly modified Ed's patch to look more original-script-way and get rid of unnecessary checking.
XPrint has been removed from the offical Xorg sources and we're in the process of cleaning it out from Gentoo due to lack of interest. As such, I'll be closing that bug WONTFIX. Thanks
