Description Michal Suchanek 2007-01-09 09:23:28 UTC

With xorg 7.2rc3 type1 font module fails to load for me. I'm not aware of
anything using these fonts on my system, but who knows...

Excerpt from log file:

(II) LoadModule: "type1"
(II) Loading /opt/xorg/lib/xorg/modules//fonts/libtype1.so
dlopen: /opt/xorg/lib/xorg/modules//fonts/libtype1.so: undefined symbol:
Type1RegisterFontFileFunctions
(EE) Failed to load /opt/xorg/lib/xorg/modules//fonts/libtype1.so


If it is not reproducible elsewhere it might be a gentoo issue. There are
special linker flags needed for a working X server and modules. Other modules
work for me, though.

libxfont was not built with --enable-type1, or maybe missing --enable-fc

I have built it with the build-from-tarballs script so I did not specify any
parameters manually.

I manually added --enable-type1 (--enable-fc seems to be the default) and the
problem goes away.
