Bugzilla Bug 132265

someone needs to fix virtual/xft 6.8 in portage or in the upstream so that a
file is present. There may be dependencies missing also. Trying to go to the
unstable 7.0 version is bogged in a long daisy chain of unstable dependencies.
Problem believed at least 2 days old and known to exist in x86 and amd64.

emerge -pv xft
*  virtual/xft
      Latest version available: 6.8
      Latest version installed: 6.8.2-r6
      Size of downloaded files:  [no/bad digest]

      Description: Virtual for the Xft font library

emerge -pv xft

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
