I think I just found a broken Mandrake tool: drakfont
If you use Mandrake, you might want to be careful in using it to install
TrueType fonts. I just tried to install a bunch from my collections
and... xfs (ergo, X) refused to start after that.
I'm currently Not Pleased.
For anyone interested, the logs are posted at

Grr.
A little manual editing of the font cache and removing entries with
chkfontpath and it's working again. I also rm -Rf'd the directories
drakfont created. I'm sure there was an easier way (permissions,
perhaps) but I was in no mood for it after watching my desktop lose X
functionality.
Just thought I'd warn you.
(drakfont is part of drakxtools. I've got drakxtools-9.2-19.6.92mdk
installed.)
