Emerging Fontforge automatically pulls in autotrace and its dependencies
(including gtk-1.2). FF uses this program only to convert bitmaps to scaled
fonts, so I think there should be an USE-flag to control this dep.

Reproducible: Always

And, some Gentoo users prefer potrace, not autotrace.
FontForge allows to use any of them.

Fixed in CVS. Thanks for the bug report.
