With the recent masking of x11-base/xorg-x11 meta package, several fonts were uninstalled from my system. Most applications had no problem with this, but the wmsystemtray now refuses to start. A little poking around and googling showed me that it needs the misc-misc font to be installed, but this is not reflected in the dependencies. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install x11-plugins/wmsystemtray without having media-fonts/font-misc-misc installed. 2. Attempt to start wmsystemtray Actual Results: angel@phoenix ~ $ wmsystemtray X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist) Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont) Serial number of failed request: 36 Current serial number in output stream: 65 Expected Results: wmsystemtray should start normally Manually installing media-fonts/font-misc-misc remedies this issue.
Thanks for the report! I have most of these old fonts in my world list so I did not see that, let me add the dependency
