Description D. Stimits 2001-03-02 22:25:39 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.15-config.2 i686)


XFree86 is looking for font directory:
/usr/share/fonts/defaults/
                                     ^
Actual directory is singular:
/usr/share/fonts/default/

A second directory also does not exist, it is an extension to the prior
directory:
/usr/share/fonts/defaults/TrueTypex
                                      ^                 ^
The actual directory available for this is:
/usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Redhat 7.1 beta (Fisher)
2. X error messages may be found that indicate missing font paths.

	

Actual Results:  Directories indicated by error messages don't exist;
similarly named (but slightly different
directories) do exist.

Expected Results:  Actual directory names should match what X is searching
for.

The following symbolic links removed further error messages:
/usr/share/fonts/default/ was given a symbolic link to:
/usr/share/fonts/defaults/

/usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/ was given a symbolic link to:
/usr/share/fonts/defaults/TrueTypex/

This bug was fixed long ago.
