setup crashes trying to install xorg-x11-fnts

[David Rothenberger]

Setup is crashing for me (Windows "unexpected error" window) when I try 
to reinstall xorg-x11-fnts.

Why would I try that? Well, I was upgrading a computer and wanted to 
install some experimental packages. So, I clicked on Exp. I didn't want 
to install the X experimental packages. Rather than clicking on the 
version number for each package to toggle to "Keep" (my normal 
procedure), I got lazy and just unchecked the "Bin" checkbox for these 
packages.

To my surprise, it uninstalled those packages (even though cycling away 
from Partial and back didn't show any activity for those packages). 
After this happened, I reran setup to reinstall those packages. All the 
X packages reinstalled successfully except xorg-x11-fnts.

I thought something was messed up on that machine, but I just tried 
reinstalling xorg-x11-fnts on a different machine and setup crashed 
there, too.

Any ideas how to fix this? Or, is there any way I can manually reinstall 
xorg-x11-fnts so I have a working X11 installation again?
