Besides this what is the difference from media-fonts/font-cronyx-cyrillic and probably version bump will be necessary since in debian there are newer fonts: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/xfonts-cronyx-100dpi
There's no difference that I can see. I'm going to punt this. # Ryan Hill <dirtyepic@gentoo.org> (19 Sep 2010) # Mask for removal 20101019 (bug #304621). # Use font-cronyx-cyrillic instead. media-fonts/cronyx-fonts

For awhile they have been considered broken, and in Russian community we used a modified set of cronyx fonts (by Sergei Vakulenko ?) which as I understand what media-fonts/cronyx-fonts is, while media-fonts/font-cronyx-cyrillic descends from the oficial XFree set. The names of the fonts were always identical between the sets. At the time "russification" howto's would advise to ditch the official cronyx fonts and used corrected version. What happened since I have no idea (although cronyx-fonts are one of the main fonts on my systems)
Having installed font-cronyx-cyrillic, I see that it lacks several fonts that media-fonts/cronyx-fonts has. Namely, out of /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/screen8x16b.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/screen8x16.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/proof9x16.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koinil2.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi9x18b.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi9x18.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi9x15b.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi9x15.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi8x16b.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi8x16.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi8x13.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi7x14b.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi7x14.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi6x9.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi6x13b.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi6x13.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi6x10.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi5x8.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi12x24b.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi12x24.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi10x20.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cronyx/misc/koi10x16b.pcf.gz font-cronyx-cyrillic only has /usr/share/fonts/cyrillic/koinil2.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cyrillic/koi6x10.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cyrillic/koi10x20.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/cyrillic/koi10x16b.pcf.gz As I looked at my setup, it is exactly those /misc fonts that I used for the last 10 years :( BTW, I have mis-attributed work on cronyx fonts to Sergei Vakulenko

I have looked at font-cronyx-cyrillic ChangeLog and see that since initial incorportation of the package from XFree4.3 in 2004 there have been no work on the fonts themselves. Which makes me believe that cronyx-fonts package still provides superior quality cyrillic fonts, as it was known to do in 2000.
Sorry, my mistake. I've reverted the mask.
