app-text/xpdf-3.02-r4 does not start up any more for me. Even without any document to load, it warns about not finding a font. The full error message is pasted below. I encountered the failure after a complete world rebuild I did after the upgrade to glibc-2.11.3. Due to the many references to Motif in the Error message I tried rebuilding openmotif and xpdf, to no avail. Also I tried openmotif with the xft use flag enabled, which did not help either. The git version (-9999) of xpdf works fine. There are some font warnings as well, but it does start up: # xpdf Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-times-bold-i-normal--20-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-times-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct I'm not shure what further info may be helpful, so don't hesitate to ask for encores. The rather repetetive error message is as follows: # xpdf Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Cannot convert string "-efont-biwidth-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, -gnu-unifont-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-p-*-*-*, -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1, -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-*, -cronyx-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-p-*-koi8-r, -*-lucida-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-*, -*-*-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-p-*-*-*, -*-*-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-p-*-*-*, -*-*-*-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, -*-*-*-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,*" to type FontSet Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset Warning: Name: _MOTIF_DEFAULT_LOCALE Class: XmRendition Conversion failed.

Things are getting strange. Now xpdf-9999 will no more start up as well. Aditionally, xdvi and gv will no more start up with similar errors... There seems to be a more fundamental flaw somewhere. I did not change my system too much since the original report, none of the upgrades were related. I did a reboot, but hey? Will enquire further, but any pointers are appreciated.

Judging from its Summary, it looks like bug #357693 has the better analysis. But please paste your `emerge --info' into a comment.
The other issue does not seem to be a dup, I used ghostscript-gpl-8.71-r6 in the first place. I gave an upgrade to the -9 version a try, which does not help out at all. xdvi, gs etc bail out complaining they can't load a usable ISO8859 font like this: # gv Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: apLineDel Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>apLineDel: GV_Page(page+5) ' Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-140-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1" to type FontStruct Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Segmentation fault Anyway, here is my emerge --info. # emerge --info Portage 2.2.0_alpha26 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.4.5, glibc-2.11.3-r0, 2.6.36.2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.36.2-i686-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_E8500_@_3.16GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 07 Mar 2011 09:30:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p9 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11-r3 dev-lang/python: 2.6.6-r2, 3.1.3-r1 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1-r1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.7.0 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.5 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.36.1 (sys-kernel/linux-headers) Repositories: gentoo Installed sets: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/init.d /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /usr/share/X11 /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/X11/xkb/compat /usr/share/X11/xkb/geometry /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes /usr/share/X11/xkb/keymap /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/sun_vndr /usr/share/X11/xkb/types" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs distlocks fixlafiles fixpackages news parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="en_US" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acpi bash-completion berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdr cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups cxx dri dts dvd dvdr emboss encode exif expat fam firefox flac fortran gdu gif gnutls gpm gtk iconv ipv6 java jpeg lcms mad mikmod mmx mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap ncurses nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pango pcre pdf perl png policykit ppds pppd python qt3support readline session spell sqlite sse sse2 ssl svg sysfs system-sqlite tcpd threads tiff truetype udev unicode usb vim-syntax vorbis wmf x264 x86 xcb xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" KERNEL="linux" LINGUAS="en_US" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
I found xterm also suffering from this problem. When invoking any of the menus via <Ctrl>-<Mouseclick> xterm dies a sudden death, leaving the message: Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Error: Aborting: no font found As this applies to xpdf, xdvi and gs for startup and xterm on menu invocation, I think the summary should be adapted, but alas, it's not open for my editing pleasure. I reproduced the issue on a rather barebone system, another one of my systems is still operational, I did not do a world rebuild recently there. Anyway, this issue does not seem to be ghostscript related at all, as xterm does not depend on it (and it's not even installed on the barebones system). Anyway, as this seems to have rather widespread repercussions I tentatively increase priority.
Following the analysis in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359679, I switched to USE=nls for media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi media-fonts/font-misc-misc and things are back to work. Hooray. I don't believe that is what -nls is supposed to result in, though :-) So this could be resolved Worksforme, but I leave this decision to someone with some understanding of this issue...
I believe this was broken in revision 1.24 of xorg-2.eclass (diff http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/eclass/xorg-2.eclass?r1=1.23&r2=1.24 ), which changed USE=-nls from --disable-iso8859-2 --disable-iso8859-3 ... to --disable-all-encodings The problem is that --disable-all-encodings is also disabling iso8859-1, which is needed for English.
