Package: xfonts-encodings
Version: 1:1.0.2-3
Severity: normal
Recently trying to work out why defoma was complaining about a missing
directory, I found out that x-ttcidfont-conf, in its script
/usr/share/defoma/scripts/x-ttcidfont-conf.defoma
still has hardwired references to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/large
and in its Debian changelog says:
In order to maintain compatibility with X11R6, revert to the old
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings path, for which xfonts-encodings
ships a compatibility symlink in X.org 7. For this, depend on the
required version of xfonts-encodings (see #369510), or a pre-Xorg7
xfonts-base.
(for version 23 of x-ttcidfont-conf).
Hence, it seems as if for the moment that symlink is still needed:
certainly, for me, symlinking /usr/share/fonts/X11 to
/usr/lib/X11/fonts cures the error message.
I'm not sure whose bug this is, I thought I'd file it here first since
the assumption that the symlink is no longer needed seems to be false,
and there seems to be a continued effort to be compatible with X11R6
for now.

This is no longer relevant since x-ttcidfont-conf no longer uses the above
paths.
