Yes, re-emerging font-misc-misc with nls allows xosview to start. It |
| 22 |
about doubles the size of /usr/share/fonts/misc, but only from about |
| 23 |
2.7 to 5.1M. |

However, as I said, I have not change -nls in my make.conf recently, so |
| 26 |
I'm not sure what else might have changed. At this point, probably not |
| 27 |
worth any effort to pursue further. |
