Hello,
the libXfont.so library from X11R7.0 has a new feature: built-in
"cursor" and "fixed" fonts. Unfortunately, due to what I consider to be
a bug, the X server doesn't provide a way to add these fonts to the font
path by default. A simple sed solves this. Thus, there is no longer any
need to install font files for those two required X core fonts.
Attached is a patch against the LiveCD buildscripts that implements this
modification and makes the /usr/lib/X11/fonts directory non-existent.
Should this be applied?
