Bug#370676: xserver-xorg: X server should not needs fonts at all
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: important
yesterday I upgrade some fonts packages (aptitude log follow) and today,
X refuse to start cause it can't find two fonts which normally are
provided by xfonts-base (cursor and 6x13-ISO8859-1).
I wonder X failed for just fonts issue and it should be able to runs
without and/or find a way to start (for eg. as Eugene Konev said in
334080 report reply: "It is normal to use X server without any fonts
installed")
I know this report could be treat also as whishlist item also.
