After installing x11-base/xorg-x11, the fonts directories are in a new location. There is a need to update net-print/xprint, specifically /usr/sbin/xprint, to look for the fonts in the new location. (I don't have a patch yet, but I will make one, test it and post it when tested.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xorg-x11 xprint Actual Results: /usr/sbin/xprint still refers to old location for fonts, not where xorg-x11 puts them. Expected Results: /usr/sbin/xprint should look in both the old and new locations for fonts.

Printing team bug.
what about xprint-009, is this still not compatible?
Re: Comment #2: Heinrich, in xprint-009, in the /usr/sbin/xprint script, it DOES scan the /usr/share/fonts directory. This MAY BE sufficient. However, I wonder if it should read the fonts list out of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as well (if the file exists), just as it now reads the fonts out of /etc/X11/XF86Config and /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. (This is done in the function get_fontlist_from_xf86config().) So what I'm saying is that I wonder if there should be a similar attempt to read from /etc/X11/xorg.conf? This could be done by adding the following line to /usr/sbin/xprint: [ -f "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" ] && srcxf86configfile="/etc/X11/xorg.conf" after this line: [ -f "/etc/X11/XF86Config" ] && srcxf86configfile="/etc/X11/XF86Config" This would only be necessary if there are fonts NOT IN /usr/share/fonts. If we are sure that all fonts are in /usr/share/fonts then xprint-009 is fine the way it is. (I don't know enough about how flexible font locations are allowed to be, so I don't know if this suggestion is redundant.)
the fonts in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (XFree86.conf) are deprecated, so i don't think it should use them. So i will close this one.
