libXfont2 supersedes libXfont (1.4.7). The current users of that library need to be rebuilt. ``` ousage.pl /usr/lib/libXfont.so.1 # 'users' of '/usr/lib/libXfont.so.1' /usr/bin/Xnest xorg-server-1.18.4-0.x86_64 /usr/bin/Xvfb xorg-server-1.18.4-0.x86_64 /usr/bin/bdftopcf bdftopcf-1.0.4-0.x86_64 /usr/libexec/Xorg xorg-server-1.18.4-0.x86_64 ``` Create the bee package with the command below. ``` $ bee init https://www.x.org/pub/individual/lib/libXfont2-2.0.1.tar.bz2 creating libXfont2-2.0.1-0.bee from template '/etc/default/bee/templates/fallback' ``` Convert it to a versionless bee file, configure it according to the instructions in the LFS book [1], and disable building of the static variants of the library .

Since X.Org Server 1.19 this is not needed anymore.

This still needs to be tested on an Intel system. @david, would you do that? |

Nice. Thank you for testing that. Now I remember, that we use the modesetting driver for Intel hardware, which is shipped with the X.Org Server. |

Should libXfont-1.4.7-0 be removed? |

@donald, thank you for the review. Indeed the commit was missing to remove libXfont 1.4.7. I added that, and also put the bee commands for removing the legacy fonts into the update script. |
buczek@theinternet:~$ xload -update 1 Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Error: Aborting: no font found buczek@theinternet:~$ |
|
@donald, I installed the fonts below again on your system. I executed. |
|
Not enough. |
This reverts commit 95adc1f. Currently old X applications like `xload`, `xfontsel` and `xdu`, as they need the fonts. To not hold up the update, leave the fonts installed.
This reverts commit 64a9761. Currently old X applications like `xload`, `xfontsel` and `xdu`, as they need the fonts. To not hold up the update, leave the fonts installed.

I reverted the fonts removal commits. |
|
Tested on theinternet. Looks good to me. Do you want to rebase and squash away the reverts? |
|
My plan was to leave the revert commits in the branch, and not squash them. The reason is, that this way, the font removal commits can be easily cherry-picked in the future, once the old X applications are fixed. |
