Description nanikata15 2008-03-24 12:30:04 UTC

although files created by font-jis-misc are deleted upon unmerge- fonts.dir in /usr/share/fonts/misc is not updated.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge media-fonts/font-jis-misc
2.emerge -C media-fonts/font-jis-misc


Actual Results:  
$ cat /usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.dir | grep jiskan
jiskan16.pcf.gz -jis-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-150-75-75-c-160-jisx0208.1983-0
jiskan24.pcf.gz -jis-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-230-75-75-c-240-jisx0208.1983-0


Expected Results:  
jiskan entries should no be there anymore

this can be solved by running mkfontdir inside /usr/share/fonts/misc/ after unmerging

really wouldn't be a big deal if it didn't stop xim from working in xterm and urxvt.

(Adding error messages for reference)
Xterm:
Preparation of font set "*" for XIM failed.
Preparation of default font set "*" for XIM failed.

urxvt:
urxvt: unable to create fontset for input method, try "-pt Root". Continuing.
urxvt: failed to create input context, continuing without XIM
