Description Renato Alves 2009-03-06 01:23:55 UTC 
xosd needs the default misc-fixed font found in font-misc-misc. It will refuse to start if the default font is not found. The workaround is to pass the new font directly as an argument.
I first noticed this problem when pyOSD refused to start because xosd couldn't find the fixed font (even though pyOSD actually defaults to the helvetica font).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. unmerge font-misc-misc
2. restart X
3. start osd_cat with no parameters
The message "Default font not found" should show up on screen

Similar to bug #250986 (but no dupe).

Reassigning to maintainer-needed.
