Description Enrico Scholz 2001-03-22 18:56:42 UTC
[XFree86-4.0.3-1]

Both the base XFree86 and the XFree86-cyrillic packages are containing
fonts.alias files which are defining the same alias:

----/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias----
fixed       
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
variable     -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
...

----/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/fonts.alias----
fixed  -cronyx-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-koi8-r
variable -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-koi8-r
...


So depending on the order of the directories in the config-file, the wrong
font will be choosen.

I don't know the best solution to resolve this conflicts. Perhaps a
RPM-package can be created which contains a bunch of fonts.alias files (one
for each encoding) for the default fonts. Then the admin has to set a
symlink to the prefered one.


This bug is related to #17757

Ok, I'll have a look at bug #17757 and see if I can come up with something.

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2002-05-21 13:28:27 UTC
Are you still seeing such a problem under RHL 7.3?

Comment 3 Enrico Scholz 2002-05-23 09:41:03 UTC
Don't seeing it anymore...
