I also haven't read anything and got terrible caught by this 7.2 xorg thing I guess that the most shit comes from the path change and that portupgrade= =20 deos not tell anything about the old default /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts chang= e=20 to /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts. Kind of sed operation would have solved this=20 easily without bothering anyone Seems it is necessary to delete manually the old font dirs because portupgr= ade=20 does not. so then most people may find out that editing the font paths in xorg.conf w= ill=20 solve the problem at the end and not to forget the new X path in kdmrc whic= h=20 also is a good one when saying a msg as "cannot execute" instead of "is no= t=20 there" ... :) font-alias also does wierd things and creates font.alias even for fonts whi= ch=20 are not installed, let's say cyrillic for instance, not sure if this is=20 right, anyway, font-alias is not necessary I think=20 and kind of lame that portupgrade xorg does not install the modules, that i= s a=20 funny strike uninstalling xorg and installing the meta port also does not solve the=20 issue ... but installs some zillions of font crap which I can not believe=20 that somebody still use them but it was a funny day and useful to learn finally something about xorg whi= ch=20 before 7.2 was a really toooooo easy going install :) =2D-=20 Jo=E3o A mensagem foi scaneada pelo sistema de e-mail e pode ser considerada segura.
