Description of problem: on fully installed & updated i386 & x86_64 Fedora 8 systems, I found the following links BROKEN in /etc/X11/fontpath.d/ xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi:unscaled:pri=30 -> /usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled xorg-x11-fonts-misc:unscaled:pri=10 -> /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled This may be caused by incorrect installation scripts of xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.2-3.fc8 xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi-7.2-3.fc8 RPMs. A workaround is to add: Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" EndSection to /etc/X11/xorg.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Yup, and xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi:unscaled:pri=30 as well.

Fixed in 7.2-4, thanks.
??? I have reported this bug more than 3 months ago (bug 251451), bug it was closed with NOTABUG by ajax. What happened here?
Oh, oops. I guess Adam closed it a little too fast, sorry about that.
*** Bug 251451 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Verified the three broken links have been fixed in xorg-x11-fonts-*-7.2-4.fc9
so this has been fixed for months and no update released for f8!?
and I can't even just do yum --enablerepo=development update xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi or even yum --enablerepo=development upgrade xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi !!! ... Transaction Check Error: file /etc/X11/fontpath.d/xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi:unscaled:pri=20 from install of xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi-7.2-6.fc9.noarch conflicts with file from package xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.2-3.fc8.noarch ... and of course there are dependencies on these font packages, so I can't simply rpm -e them without --nodeps, which is just asking for even more trouble. I even needed --noscripts to finally get rid of the 75dpi, 100dpi, and misc font packages. but all to no avail as yum update|upgrade|install still exit with the same file conflict error as above!? figures. Either this bug should not be closed, or some other bugs need to be opened?
