Description Adam Jackson 2010-09-21 15:28:01 UTC

Description of problem:

The dependency on -fonts-misc appears to have been introduced as part of a suite of fixes for bug #496786.  However, if I construct a mock chroot with tigervnc-server in it, and forcibly remove the -fonts-misc package, I can still start Xvnc in that chroot just fine.

I suspect the root cause here is that we're starting Xvnc without the "built-ins" element in the font path:

root      6181  0.0  0.2  64312  7816 ?        S    11:28   0:00 /usr/bin/Xvnc :1 -desktop synephrine:1 (root) -auth /builddir/.Xauthority -geometry 1280x876 -depth 16 -rfbwait 30000 -rfbauth /builddir/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5901 -fp catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d -pn

which means that we wouldn't pick up the mandatory fixed and cursor fonts from libXfont.  However in at least F13 and later we'll always include the builtin fonts even if you don't ask for them.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

tigervnc-server-1.0.90-0.20.20100813svn4123.fc15.x86_64

Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2010-09-21 15:50:39 UTC

It shall be added that this is a nonnegligible source of bloat on our live images (xorg-x11-fonts-misc is quite large for a font package).

Ok, I will drop xorg-x11-fonts-misc dependency in F14 & rawhide.

It is actually fixed in tigervnc-1.0.90-0.22.20100813svn4123.fc14.

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2010-09-21 16:30:04 UTC

Proposing for inclusion in F14-Beta

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2010-09-21 17:03:34 UTC

rc3 is in testing now, so if that gets accepted this can't make beta. If we fail validation and have to respin, though, it seems reasonable to have this in the next spin.
