Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  There's no libxfont package anywhere in our repos

There is no libxfont in the repos.
libxfont2 is by definition not the same package as libxfont, so in case you were wondering whether it is okay to nag us about irrelevant packages... it really isn't.
If this bug was closed, then either it was closed for a reason, or you think you know more than we do, in which case maybe you should show us all how smart you are by creating and operating your own distro rather than using our sucky bug-ridden distro.

We are now at 11 reopen requests and counting. I suggest you all get it through your heads that this is not a bug and we will not reopen the request. (No, not even to allow you to make irrelevant and out of place comments. This bugtracker is not reddit or Facebook, it is meant for tracking the *status* of bugs and collecting *technical knowledge* about their causes and effects and possible solutions.) So don't be a jerk and try anyway as it is profoundly irritating.

If you are still somehow terribly confused as to what is going on, then given that this is *not a bug*, you really need to learn to take *not a bug* questions to the appropriate medium for *not a bug* support requests, namely, the help forums. It is grossly inappropriate to ask support questions in a medium designed to, well, *track* bugs, as it distracts from the given objective of tracking them!

Although I do strongly recommend you do your due diligence and search for existing forum threads with the same problem, rather than getting the moderators angry at you too -- there are several threads already...
