Description Martin Mokrejš 2009-01-23 13:12:21 UTC 
The einfo of the ebuild instructs user to install the fonts bundled with plotutils manually. I had a look into the distribution archive and I think
the ebuild should rather tell the user the truth:

plotutils-2.5.1/fonts/pfb/ completely overlaps with
                           media-fonts/urw-fonts-2.4.6

plotutils-2.5.1/fonts/pfb/ get partly overlapped by
                           media-gfx/swftools-0.8.1 (bug #256084)

Fix the einfo() lines to instruct user to install media-fonts/urw-fonts
directly. Leave in the hint about /usr/share/doc/plotutils-2.5.1/INSTALL.fonts.bz2 (append the .bz2 to
the current einfo() contents).
Comment 1 Martin Mokrejš 2009-01-23 13:15:57 UTC 
I forgot to add fonts probably not covered by any other Gentoo package and what should be highlighted by einfo() and present in plotutils package:

plotutils-2.5.1/fonts/pcf/tekfont?.pcf (4 font files)
plotutils-2.5.1/fonts/bdf/tekfont?.bdf (same 4 fonts)

I fixed this in plotutils-2.6 that I just added to CVS.
