Description Jeremy Lainé 2006-09-08 02:15:54 UTC 
The configure scripts for the following font packages do not respect the
PKG_CONFIG environment variable when querying the "mapdir" variable of the
"fontutil" package:

fonts-misc-misc
fonts-schumacher-misc

In both cases the problem is that 'pkg-config' is hardcoded in the configure
script. 

Expected behaviour : when running PKG_CONFIG=/path/to/my-pkg-config ./configure,
the configure script should invoke /path/to/my-pkg-config, not "pkg-config".

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

I'm only looking after the BDF files themselves and don't feel qualified to add patches concerning the build infrastructure.
Can any configuration guru handle this one please?

Applied both patches, thanks.
