Description Will Reinhart 2002-08-19 11:44:34 UTC

The ebuild for x3270 (IBM 3270 terminal emulator) overwrites 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir.  This causes the infamous "could not 
locate default font fixed" error next time X is started.

please check that the -r1 ebuild does not clobber your fonts.

in fact, please check the 3.2.19 version and test that (it's masked currently)

Sorry it took so long to get back to you about that bug.  I've been waiting 
all week for my cable modem to be installed, so I couldn't emerge anything.  
Anyway, the new ebuild does fix the problem.  Thanks for the quick response!
