>Description:
When building libfontenc without any X11/fonts installed, it is configured
to search non-existent "/usr/local/share/fonts/X11/encodings" directory
for "encodings.dir" file instead of "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/encodings"
directory.  Libraries in the binary package distribution have the same
configuration.

This finally causes X server to fail to use some encodings for TrueType fonts.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install x11-fonts/libfontenc prior to any x11 fonts or install it from
the binary package.
Install x11-fonts/bitstream-vera.
Add bitstream-vera diractory to the font path.
(xset fp+ /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/)
Look for a bitstream-vera font.
(xlsfonts -l -fn '-bitstream-bitstream vera sans-medium-r-normal-*')

You'll see just 4 encodings for the font other than ascii-0 encoding.
Also you'll find an error in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
FreeType: couldn't find encoding 'ascii-0' for '/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/bitstre
am-vera/Vera.ttf'

>Fix:
Should patch the configure script or aclocal/fontutil.m4.
