Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-10-26 03:51:17 UTC
there a reason for hard requiring bzip2 & freetype ?  we have systems where we don't want either enabled ...
Comment 1 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2012-10-26 13:39:19 UTC
The bzip2 support could probably made optional. Currently there seem to be no bzip2 compressed fonts in the tree.

freetype is a bit more difficult. Disabling it may lead to non-Xft applications to no longer show outline fonts (e.g. tk applications if dev-lang/tk was built without USE=truetype).
Comment 2 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2012-10-26 14:07:44 UTC
bzip2 and truetype flags were added in libXfont-1.4.5-r1, and a notice if truetype is disabled. Let's see if someone complains.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-10-26 18:27:15 UTC
have it be IUSE=+truetype ?
Comment 4 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2012-10-27 00:17:08 UTC
truetype is already on by default in the desktop profile.
