Hi folks,
I am trying to emerge xsane, which requires sane-backends.
However, the sane-backends package fails forever with error message like
below:
--- BEGIN ---
Fontconfig error: Cannot load config file "infinality/conf.d"
Error: /invalidfont in /findfont
--- END ---
I have only "52-infinality.conf" enabled in "eselect fontconfig".
I suppose this is a problem related to infinality fontconfig I am using.
But how am I supposed to fix this?
That is probably because media-libs/fontconfig seems not to canonicalise
relative target path for symlinks.
As a quick, but volatile, solution you can re-create symlink:
ln -s /etc/fonts/infinality/styles.conf.avail/linux \
/etc/fonts/infinality/conf.d
or you have to patch the module:
/usr/share/eselect/modules/infinality.eselect
of app-eselect/eselect-infinality-1 to use full qualified paths.
Test configuration loading afterwards, e.g. with `fc-match monospace`.
