fonts.alias in the sazanami package is reporting the existence of a sazanami-times font face to Xorg which does not appear to exist. This is causing problems in other packages.
A similar problem exists in sazanami-gothic with sazanami-helvetica being in fonts.alias.
What kind of problems does this cause? it should simply works as long as applications builds the appropriate XFontSet.
It causes a crash in fontforge initialization. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1007477
I suppose this issue should be gone after removing the lines for jisx0201.1976-0 charsets. it is a bug in ttmkfdir. I just filed it.

Still happening now with fedora 20. ;(
I confirm I also have the same bug ! Specifically, after installing sazanami, xlsfonts list the fonts : -sazanami-fixed-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0 -sazanami-gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1 -sazanami-gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0 -sazanami-helvetica-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0 -sazanami-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1 -sazanami-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0 -sazanami-times-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0 Which cause fontforge to crash. Rebuilding the cache cannot help in any way; I uninstalled the fonts, and the broken ones were not there anymore, only to reappear when I reinstalled the fonts.

sazanami-fonts-0.20040629-23.fc20 has been pushed to the Fedora 20 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
The problem still persists with me. First, there is no sazanami-fonts package whatsoever to be found in the repositories, only : sazanami-fonts-common.noarch sazanami-gothic-fonts.noarch sazanami-mincho-fonts.noarch Repoquery claims I have version 20040629-23 for those packages : Name : sazanami-gothic-fonts Version : 0.20040629 Release : 23.fc20 But I still have the same error with fontforge when starting, and xlsfonts still list fonts starting with "-sazanami-...", althoug alongside with other fonts listing "-misc-sazanami-...". Removing the packages still remove the "-sazanami" fonts and reinstalling stil add those buggy descriptors again. ... -misc-sazanami mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-suneu-greek -sazanami-fixed-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0 ...
works for me. fonts.scale in the package has no problem and contains expected XLFDs. I suppose you don't have an updated xorg-x11-fonts-misc package installed?
Nope. I actually haven't xorg-x11-fonts-misc installed at all, only the sazanami ones. Installing xorg-x11-fonts-misc at version "xorg-x11-fonts-7.5-10.fc20" doesn't solve the issue (and quite hopefully, else I don't understand a think of what's going on)
I'm not sure where -suneu-greek charset was coming. correct entries in fonts.scale should be: 8 sazanami-gothic.ttf -misc-Sazanami Gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-ascii-0 sazanami-gothic.ttf -misc-Sazanami Gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso10646-1 sazanami-gothic.ttf -misc-Sazanami Gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1 sazanami-gothic.ttf -misc-Sazanami Gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-15 sazanami-gothic.ttf -misc-Sazanami Gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-9 sazanami-gothic.ttf -misc-Sazanami Gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0 sazanami-gothic.ttf -misc-Sazanami Gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0 sazanami-gothic.ttf -misc-Sazanami Gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1990-0 You can try to regenerate them with ttmkfdir.
The -suneu-greek charset is found with the mincho declinaison of the font, not the gothic one, in /usr/share/fonts/sazanami/mincho/fonts.dir. However I found the guilty descriptors in files named "fonts.alias" : /usr/share/fonts/sazanami/mincho/fonts.alias:1:-sazanami-times-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0 "-misc-sazanami mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0" /usr/share/fonts/sazanami/mincho/fonts.alias:2:-sazanami-times-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0 "-misc-sazanami mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0" /usr/share/fonts/sazanami/mincho/fonts.alias:3:-sazanami-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1 "-misc-sazanami mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1" /usr/share/fonts/sazanami/mincho/fonts.alias:4:-sazanami-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0 "-misc-sazanami mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0" /usr/share/fonts/sazanami/mincho/fonts.alias:5:-sazanami-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0 "-misc-sazanami mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0" /usr/share/fonts/sazanami/gothic/fonts.alias:1:-sazanami-helvetica-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0 "-misc-sazanami gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0" /usr/share/fonts/sazanami/gothic/fonts.alias:2:-sazanami-helvetica-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0 "-misc-sazanami gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0" /usr/share/fonts/sazanami/gothic/fonts.alias:3:-sazanami-fixed-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0 "-misc-sazanami gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0" /usr/share/fonts/sazanami/gothic/fonts.alias:4:-sazanami-fixed-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0 "-misc-sazanami gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0" /usr/share/fonts/sazanami/gothic/fonts.alias:5:-sazanami-gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1 "-misc-sazanami gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1" /usr/share/fonts/sazanami/gothic/fonts.alias:6:-sazanami-gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0 "-misc-sazanami gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0" /usr/share/fonts/sazanami/gothic/fonts.alias:7:-sazanami-gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0 "-misc-sazanami gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0" I'm not sure what to do though.
No problem here with both fonts installed. what exactly does fontforge say?
Created attachment 967230 [details] The log of fontforge error message while launching. Here is the output of fontforge.
Well, -sazanami-times-medium-r-normal--*-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0 is mentioned at fonts.alias in sazanami-mincho-fonts: -sazanami-times-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0 "-misc-sazanami mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0" and the entity is included in fonts.scale/fonts.dir in sazanami-mincho-fonts too: sazanami-mincho.ttf -misc-Sazanami Mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0201.1976-0 which yours somehow may not, right? if it's there but still happens, try restarting X server or X font server if you use.
