I recently upgraded xorg-x11 to 7.0, as it was unmasked in stable. However, I was given some font problems along with the upgrade. I haven't found anything on either Google or on bugs.gentoo.org, so I'm turning to the list now. My main problem is that xfs (the X font server, not the filesystem) hogs the CPU for about 2-3 seconds whenever I start a new xterm, blocking the new xterm during that time. I haven't found the exact extent of programs affected by the problem -- right now, I only know that xterm and twm are affected. I've tried turning off xfs and moving the FontPaths into the X server itself, but that only made the problem worse (taking 6+ seconds instead). Also, when I'm starting xterms from other machines, they don't seem to care at all, so I'm guessing that the xterm on my own machine is looking for some fonts for which the parameters have somehow changed in 7.0 (I'm not very familiar with the X font system, so I don't really know what could have changed). It might be related that I am able to view CJK characters in the local xterms, but not the remote ones (they display `??' instead of one double-width character). There is also another, unrelated and rather minor, problem: The 8x16 fixed font seems to have disappeared in 7.0. Does anyone know where it went? Thanks for reading!
