Irony in error messages

[sobrique]

Would have posted this early, but was suffering PC trauma:

Jan 24 18:10 xfs: ignoring font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic (unreadable)

Somehow, I don't think that's quite what it means...

Each word makes sense on it's own, (OK, 'cept the X11R6 and X11 bits) but all together I don't understand it...

But maybe that's just me being my computer error messages illiterate self? :P *has to ask Tristan what a lot of error messages mean*

It means that the file "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" is not readable by the OS. The fact that the Cyrillic alphabet in and of itself, might be considered 'unreadable' to the human eye is just irony.
