Bug 249190 – unmerging of media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi does not work properly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Väth 2008-11-28 19:40:10 UTC]

Although unmerging of media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi says
  * Checking /usr/share/fonts/100dpi for useless files ...
and even if /usr/share/fonts/100dpi contains only "fonts.alias"
(from media-font/fonts-alias), it leaves in that directory the files
  fonts.cache-1
  encodings.dir 
  fonts.dir

The problem with this is that it causes segfaults. I observed it with auctex:
If auctex is installed and emacs is called
  emacs -fn -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-m-110-iso10646-1
then viewing of a Tex-File with a superscript within a \subsection, e.g. in
the minimal example

  \documentclass{article} 
  \begin{document} 
  \subsection{$x^2$} 
  \end{document}
   
causes auctex/emacs to segfault. When the above three files are removed
manually _and_ the X server is restarted, the problem disappears. So I guess
unmerging font-adobe-100dpi should already have removed the above three files.
