I have seen similar warnings emitted while doing install/upgrade of recent
XFree86 package(s).

Just to confirm...I have the same identical errors and removed the offending
fonts.

Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-01-08 15:26:26 UTC
Fixed in kdebase-2.0.20010108 - KDE was installing its console fonts as always,
but as of 4.0.1, they're included in XFree86 already.
