2518	Xorg-7.2 libXfont	Randy McMurchy	dnicholson@…	"This isn't an actual issue. I had problems compiling the
bdftopcf program in XorgApps because what turns out to be an 
issue with libXfont. On Christmas Day last year, DJ removed
parts of the Wiki that deals with the exact issue I see.

***** NOTE: the system having this issue does not have
BLFS-SVN packages installed, nor is it even close to an
LFS-6.2 system. It is a recently built system using LFS SVN
and many updated BLFS packages including FreeType and
Fontconfig. *****

Anyway, the relevant text removed from the Wiki is this:
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/Xorg7Libraries?action=diff&version=8

My Questions:

1. I'm wondering what is the root reason why this issue exists?
(package versions probably?) I did not try to search the mail
archives for this issue.

2. Why was that text removed from the Wiki? If it wasn't
relevant to current BLFS-6.2, then we probably should leave 
stuff like that, but add a description or something that it
only happens in XYZ configuration (or whatever).

3. We should use the comment facility when changes such as this
are made to the Wiki so that you don't have to search mail
archives or something else to find out why the change was made.

Please don't hesitate to close this ticket. I marked it for 6.3
simply so there may be a reply and it stays in queue."	task	closed	normal	6.3	BOOK	SVN	medium	fixed
