Yes, re-emerging font-misc-misc with nls allows xosview to start. It
about doubles the size of /usr/share/fonts/misc, but only from about
2.7 to 5.1M.
However, as I said, I have not change -nls in my make.conf recently, so
I'm not sure what else might have changed. At this point, probably not
worth any effort to pursue further.
Thanks for the hint.
