i did not check for all those .pfb fonts but it seems those are all from the freefonts-0.10-r2 package

installed tools :
freetype : 2.1.5-r1
fontconfig : 2.2.3
xorg-x11 : 6.8.0 (internal rev 1.15)
freefonts : 0.10-r2

Comment 1 Stephane Loeuillet 2004-09-26 03:04:39 UTC
same with 6.8.0-r1 (internal rev 1.10)
Comment 2 Balarama Bosch 2004-09-30 07:10:14 UTC
I've got the same problem on "xorg-x11 6.8.0-r1".
Comment 3 PL Hayes 2004-10-21 08:43:50 UTC
Having just emerged xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1, I found a couple of problems with fonts: The b&h lucida* iso-8859-* fonts are *missing* from the 75/100 dpi bitmap fonts, the fonts.alias files in those directories are consequently wrong and apps like emacs which don't seem to like the remaining iso-10646 lucida fonts don't work properly.

I saw the same messages during the emerge as already reported (not sure that they're very important though?), but I also saw a couple of segfaults and when I run mkfontdir manually in /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/ it does indeed segfault. (I haven't found the other directory it segfaulted in yet).
Comment 4 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-21 08:47:09 UTC
Please file separate bugs for separate issues. It's nearly impossible to track things when they're all jumbled together in one bug.

gnu-gs-fonts-other are known to be screwed up.
Comment 5 Stephane Loeuillet 2005-02-05 06:38:58 UTC
confirmed to still be here (the errors "Creating fonts.scale files") with latest version of everything :

media-fonts/freefonts 0.10-r2
media-libs/fontconfig 2.2.3
media-libs/freetype 2.1.9-r1
x11-base/xorg-x11 6.8.1.904 (internal rev 1.5)
Comment 6 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-04-04 15:11:42 UTC
If this remains a problem with modular X, please reopen.
