Description Roland Mainz 2004-10-25 05:07:27 UTC
After doing a % xlsfonts -l # on my test Xserver I found the following entries
in my log file
-- snip --

It seems the encoding file 'ascii-0' is either missing or something else is
going wrong.

Prototype patch for 2004-10-31-trunk

Prototype patch.
The ascii-0 encoding makes more or less only sense for fonts which have all
ASCII chars populated but not enougth glyphs to match the requirements for
ISO8859-1.

[FIXED_X11R68x] Patch for 2004-11-04-trunk

Requesting approval for X11R6.8.x, the patch is needed for
backwards-compatibility to ttmkfontdir and applications which expect that there
are fonts with	 the *-ascii-0 encoding around.
