Expected Results: I see two possibilities 1. Package corefonts should conflicts with xfree 2. in case when xfree is already installed there should be a symlink from /usr/share/fonts/corefonts/ to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/ 3. and vice versa ...

fonts should be always stored in /usr/share/fonts the new xfree86-r6 already does this. IIRC only symlinks are stored in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. wait for xfree86-r6 to become stable
Not going to fix this until X fonts are modularized.
reopening
This is now properly fixed. Closing
