>Description:
mkfontdir now only processes gzipped font files. But xmahjongg
does not gzip its font file, it simply places xmahjongg.bdf in
the fonts directory ${X11BASE}/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ and then
invokes mkfontdir. Since mkfontdir doesn't look for un-gzipped
fonts, the new font file is ignored.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just install xmahjongg on a clean system.
>Fix:
Make xmahjongg gzip the font file before placing it in the
fonts directory.
