Aside from the warnings in Xorg.0.log do you notice any actual problems caused by the lack of the fonts package?

If not, maybe we can just quell that warning.

hi Bryce,
there is no sad effect, only the log complaint. What is strange about that warning: previously both 75dpi & 100dpi was used and required, then ubuntu have decided to drop them because unneeded, so uninstalling those both xfonts should not make xorg warn. It dont complaint about 100dpi, only about 75dpi, so the code is not completly cleaned, but i agree its not a big deal.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

It looks like the place this would need fixed is in the configure flags in debian/rules:

confflags_main = \
        --with-default-font-path="/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100\
dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/sha\
re/fonts/X11/75dpi,/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType,built-ins" \

However, if I understand correctly, removing the 75dpi and 100dpi paths from this flag would result in the packages not working if someone chose to manually install them. So, despite the ugliness of the warnings I think we gotta keep these paths there until the fonts are removed from universe entirely.
