Description Arkadi Shishlov 2002-10-19 19:03:10 UTC

xfree package do not install this file:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir
XFree86 project provide it in Xfenc.tgz archive in binary installation. Many
things just don't work without it. iso8859-13 characters from Unicode TTF, for
example.
BTW, it is useless to create fonts.dir in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/
as pkg_postinst() do and adding it to XFS fontpath is not a good idea too.

Check xfree-4.2.1, as its fixed here.

Comment 2 Arkadi Shishlov 2002-10-20 11:43:28 UTC

encodings.dir - OK.
No fonts.dir in encodings/ - OK.
Small glitch to fix - delete encodings/ from /etc/X11/fs/config fontpath
(/usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/files/4.2.1/xfs.config).
