when emering lfpfonts-fix i get a very long list of these: ..."No glyph for character U+041F (0xf0) available. No glyph for character U+042F (0xf1) available.

What version did you try to emerge? Also, which one were you using, xorg-x11 or xfree (including version number)? The output of `emerge info` would help as well.

Portage 2.0.51-r3 (default-amd64-2004.2, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.9-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9-gentoo-r4 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-r3 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" At this exact point, portage fetches and installs the package, and the fonts are in /usr/share/fonts/lfp-fix , and as a side comment, I why are lfpfonts-var are in /usr/share/fonts/lfpfonts-var , when "lfpfonts-fix" is only "lfp-fix" ? Anyways, the fonts are there, but none work, yes none, 0 null, nada :/ This is what you see when emerging the fonts: No glyph for character U+0410 (0xe1) available.

No glyph for character U+0419 (0xea) available. No glyph for character U+041A (0xeb) available. No glyph for character U+041B (0xec) available. ... I m not aware of what changes have been done either from the gentoo devs or the author of the fonts, but my sugestion is to go back to a version that works, because having this package in portage isnt really doing anything. I would test and give you an exact version number that works, but unfortunally I cant find any of the older version anywhere.
Thanks. I confirmed the problem. However, I could use any lfpfonts* with xfree, and none of lfpfonts* work with xorg-x11. Can you check you had working lfpfonts* with xorg-x11? (and the version of xorg-x11 you were using?)
I'm pretty sure that this works correctly nowadays. Please re-open if you still see the problem
