Hi List! |

I recently upgraded xorg-x11 to 7.0, as it was unmasked in stable. |
4 |
However, I was given some font problems along with the upgrade. I haven't |
5 |
found anything on either Google or on bugs.gentoo.org, so I'm turning to |
6 |
the list now. |

My main problem is that xfs (the X font server, not the filesystem) hogs |
10 |
the CPU for about 2-3 seconds whenever I start a new xterm, blocking the |
11 |
new xterm during that time. I haven't found the exact extent of programs |
12 |
affected by the problem -- right now, I only know that xterm and twm are |
13 |
affected. |
14 |
|
15 |
I've tried turning off xfs and moving the FontPaths into the X server |
16 |
itself, but that only made the problem worse (taking 6+ seconds instead). |
17 |
|
18 |
Also, when I'm starting xterms from other machines, they don't seem to |
19 |
care at all, so I'm guessing that the xterm on my own machine is looking |
20 |
for some fonts for which the parameters have somehow changed in 7.0 (I'm |
21 |
not very familiar with the X font system, so I don't really know what |
22 |
could have changed). It might be related that I am able to view CJK |
23 |
characters in the local xterms, but not the remote ones (they display `??' |
24 |
instead of one double-width character). |
25 |
|
26 |
|
27 |
There is also another, unrelated and rather minor, problem: The 8x16 |
28 |
fixed font seems to have disappeared in 7.0. Does anyone know where it went? |

Thanks for reading! |
