Description Christian Loitsch 2002-03-07 05:34:47 UTC 
at least on my machine, "find" can't find mkfontdir at the end of
an xfree-installation.
This is because, PATH does not (yet) contain /usr/X11R6/bin.
Easy fix (worked at least for me): change last line in xfree-ebuild
to:
find /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/* -type d -maxdepth 1 -exec /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir {} ';'

I really don't understand, why I am the first who has this problem.
Anyway can't hurt.

Hi, because it is usually pulled in by gnome, etc, so is missed, and I
added that when X was already installed on my box.

Thanks, will fix.
