Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 2497
When 8859-2 package is installed path is not added to xfs configuration!

Installing 8859-2 package won't automatically add path to new fonts in xfs configuration! (/etc/X11/xfs/), so fonts are unavailable f not added by hand!
This is caused by installation proces. When fonts are installed no xfs server is in system yet. The solution is use triggered postinstall scripts. Triggerred version you can found there: ftp://ftp.spsselib.hiedu.cz/pub/users/Kerslager/RedHat-6.0/XFree86-IS O8859-2* I tryed to use Prereq: in spec file but this didn't work. Triggers are the best way to solve this problem. ------- Email Received From Milan Kerslager <milan.kerslager@spsselib.hiedu.cz> 06/07/99 18:37 -------
The ISO 8859-2 fonts we ship prerequire chkfontpath, and chkfontpath requires xfs, so if you have both of these packages on the system, everything should happen automatically. If you are experiencing problems with the path not being added at _initial installation time_, this is a known bug in RPM (it doesn't reorder the dependency list 100% correctly). There is a fix on the errata page for Red Hat 6.0 (i.e. manually run chkfontpath to add the paths). After this, installing packages that use chkfontpath to modify the font path should work smoothly.
