There should be a warning at the end of the installation and uninstallation of Xorg fonts: they need a re-login, if they are going to be used in non-fontconfig applications. To see the difference before and after re-login: emerge -C media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi emerge -1 media-fonts/font-bitstream-100dpi (this is because of bug 384649 to regerenerate fonts.{scale,dir}) Log out of X Log in emerge -1 media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi xlsfonts -fn '-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-*-100-100-*-*-*-*' (I see: -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-0-iso10646-1 -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1 -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-0-iso8859-10 -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-0-iso8859-13 -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-0-iso8859-14 -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-0-iso8859-15 -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-0-iso8859-2 -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-0-iso8859-3 -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-0-iso8859-4 -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-0-iso8859-9 I don't know where the leftovers are from.) Log out of X Log in xlsfonts -fn '-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-*-100-100-*-*-*-*' (I see many more fonts listed.) Expected result: the emerging of media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi should have reminded me to re-login. Without doing it, games-board/xboard fails to start (bug 384521). So, I propose to add an ewarn to xorg-2.eclass.
$ xset fp rehash
Sweet! This probably cannot be automatized as emerge may be run from outside an X, but a warning should still be added to xorg-2.eclass, into setup_fonts(), I suppose.
