Description K9spud 2023-05-06 06:52:14 UTC

I installed app-emulation/x48-0.6.4-r2 on a fresh Gentoo system. When I try to run it, it gives me:

hjazz@ub20 ~ $ x48
x48: using XShm extension.
x48: FATAL ERROR, exit.
  - can't load font '-*-fixed-bold-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'
  - Please change resource 'smallLabelFont'

I then installed media-fonts/font-misc-misc and tried again. But then I got:

hjazz@ub20 ~ $ x48
x48: using XShm extension.
x48: FATAL ERROR, exit.
  - can't load font '-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'
  - Please change resource 'connectionFont'

So then I installed media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi and now x48 finally works (after "xset fp rehash" and restarting wayland to get the new fonts noticed).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install fresh Gentoo system
2. Install app-emulation/x48-0.6.4-r2
3. Attempt to run x48
Actual Results:  
x48 doesn't run because it depends on these fonts.

Expected Results:  
The ebuild for x48 should have RDEPEND on:

media-fonts/font-misc-misc
media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi
