Bug 336587 – lxde-base/lxde-meta does not emerge any fonts

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ulf Dambacher 2010-09-09 12:28:37 UTC]

I did a fresh gentoo install. 
emerging xorg-server and lxde and configuring as to the handbook 
I was able to startx but 
the user interface had little boxes instead of characters. 
I found out that there were no fonts installed at all. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.fresh gentoo install
2.install xorg server
3.install lxde
4) startx shows ui without any characters
Actual Results:  
unreadable gui, you can deduce funtion ony by icons

Expected Results:  
nice and lean gui

I manually installed fonts-adobe-100dpi, fonts-adobe-75dpi and fonts-misc-misc to make it work.
Adding these dependencies may solve the problem.

If you install: xorg-11 metapackage, include some fonts :)
