>Description:
The linux emulation setup has its own font cache, in package
suse_fontconfig. This doesn't work properly if xorg is used,
since it doesn't include /usr/pkg/xorg/lib/X11/fonts in the
default setup.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install acroread7. Fix the gdk-pixbuf problem -- a separate
issue -- and you'll find that it complains about not having any
fonts.
>Fix:
As a work-around, edit /usr/pkg/emul/linux/etc/fonts/local.conf
and add
<dir>/usr/pkg/xorg/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
right after the <fontconfig> line. Then run
/usr/pkg/emul/linux/usr/bin/fc-cache
A proper fix would be to test for the existence of
xorg at suse_fontconfig install time and change the
fonts.conf file accordingly. Alternatively, always
add the extra directory; given the caching mechanism,
the extra run-time overhead should be minimal, I suspect.
