I ran into a problem several months ago with xfreecell not running. |
| 8 |
Turned out the ISO8859-1 fonts were not being generated, just UTF-8. |
| 9 |
xfreecell needs ISO8859-1 fonts. And it's not the only package. I |
| 10 |
modified xorg-2.eclass so that font packages would build ISO8859-1. See |
| 11 |
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/252316/ for the gory |
| 12 |
details. Would forcing UTF-8 cause problems for packages that expect |
| 13 |
specific ISO encodings in X fonts? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The important part of the eclass mod was to manually enable iso8859-1 |
| 16 |
and disable all other encodings... |
