Installing gnuchess/xboard messes up menu fonts in xmms

[Jim Lewis]

Note: This is an extremely low priority item.

I first noticed this all the way back in Fedora 14. Here are the steps to
reproduce:

- Install xmms and its related files.

- Run it and open the pulldown menu. The fonts will look fine. Close xmms.

- Now install gnuchess/xboard   (yum -y install gnuchess xboard)

- (This step may be optional) Play a game.

- Run xmms again and open the menu. The fonts are now little boxes.

Is this a bug or have I been doing something wrong all this time? I
realize that xmms is from Fusion, is that the problem? I can fix it by
running "yum -y install xorg-x11-font*". I really did not expect this
issue to still be around after all this time. Note that I tried to find
some info on the net about this first but didn't come across anything
relevant.

You may want to be a bit more specific on the packages you've installed from rpmfusion.

xmms itself is part of the fedora repo.

So, just installing xmms, gnuchess and xboard results in the following getting installed.

And the problem you've described is not reproducible.

Hi Ed,

Yes, I should have been more specific. After setting up RPMFusion I
install xmms like this:

yum -y install xmms xmms-mp3 xmms-faad2 xmms-pulse xmms-skins

I then install chess:

yum -y install gnuchess xboard

I forgot to mention this is on the Fedora 21 Mate-Compbiz spin. I can
reproduce it easily. So far only xmms seems to have this font issue, I
haven't noticed it on anything else.

I actually did get a failure with just the fedora package.  Not sure why it didn't fail to being with.....  Anyway...

The problem appears to be related to the xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi package.

I did "rpm -e --nodeps xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi"  to prevent xboard from being removed and everything still works as far as I can tell.
