Hi All,

Well, I've checked in a masked -r3 ebuild for xfree-4.3.0.  In it, I have the fonts moved into
/usr/share/fonts.  I would like this to undergo testing, and also I would like some opinions/feedback on
this move.  Just to catch everyone up: I'll be moving the fonts packages in portage all to media-fonts
categories, and make them install into /usr/share/fonts instead.  

Additionally, the roadmap for -r3 is to remove ALL font building from xfree entirely and shove them into
separate packages.  The two possible exceptions will be 75dpi and 100dpi fonts, but even those might move
and become PDEPENDs.

As such, the current -r3 in portage is just part way there.

I am very interested in opinions before I proceed along this path.

Thanks,
