FreeType backend does use fontenc layer. So, It does need encordings.dir. X-TT backend does not use fontenc layer, it uses code conversion dynamic loading modules. So, it does not need encordings.dir >> The problem with removed encodings.dir file may be is not so >> urgent with the other font packages, but should be solved---no package >> is allowed to remove a file belonging to another package. Should I file >> bug reports against them too (with normal severity)? I think so, this problem should be solved. If xfonts-* packages will use mkfontsdir at install/remove, it is better to add `-e /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings -e /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/large' options. -- ISHIKAWA Mutsumi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
