what packages even need xorg-fonts-100dpi and xorg-fonts-75dpi ?
as written at <http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Program_requests_.22font_.27.28null.29.27.22>, it seems some program needs one of the two packages. One of this software is Emacs (even if I haven't got any xorg-fonts-*dpi package and it works fine :-)
ok, so even if no one knows a tool that really needs it, we pull them to be safe for very very rare cases. roger :P
I've found the information about Emacs at <http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration#Missing_characters>. The following warning is what I get (from /var/log/Xorg.0.log): [ 12.980] (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/". [ 12.980] Entry deleted from font path. [ 12.980] (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/").
