>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.
