Package: xfonts-base Version: 1:1.0.0-3 Followup-For: Bug #214449 Hi,
I noticed the same problem and looked at what /var/log/Xorg.0.log contains: guess what? Although the font files by e.g. xfonts-75dpi are removed from /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi and placed into /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi, the fonts.dir and other files stay behind in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi and are included because of compiled in defaults of the X-Server, which then tries to load fonts listed in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/fonts.dir from there (but fails for obvious reasons). Thus some procedure is required to remove empty directories in /usr/lib/X11 or at least fill fonts.dir et al. with sensible values for the few fonts left behind there. Unfortunately I'd guess many people installed 3rd party fonts in those places so deleting the directories right away is perhaps not the smartest move. I hope this info helps some people. The obvious recipe: move your manually installed fonts to /usr/local and remove the dirs in /usr/lib or call mkfonts at least. (I did "rm -rf /usr/lib/X11/fonts/*" but won't exactly recommend anything involving "rm -rf" to anyone;-)) Ciao, Thomas Jahns -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-mercury Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages xfonts-base depends on: ii x11-common 1:7.0.17 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc ii xfonts-utils 1:1.0.0-4 X Window System font utility progr xfonts-base recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
