There is no configure option for freetype support.  It is autodetected.  Shall we patch out the test or go with mandatory freetype?

--enable/--disable-freetype

Patch for --enable and --disable-freetype. It's enabled by default if --disable-freetype is not given.

We should handle the t1lib and freetype USE flags in a uniform way. I.e., either patch configure.ac for both of them, or use a solution as it is done for t1lib in 1.12-r1.

I've mailed the -optional.patch to upstream mailing list minute ago...

Upstream reply:

This is of course quite possible, and I'll include this in the next
release, I don't see why not.

But I'd recommend making Freetype mandatory because image quality is not
as good with the other options. Freetype is better at hinting. Also,
using Freetype is the only way to get subfont support (CJK). At this
point, I mainly view t1lib and PK support as (more and more obsolete)
fallbacks. From what I can understand, both texlive and MIKTeX include
Freetype.

configure.ac:133: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_HAS_KPSE_ENC_FORMATS
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

Hrm?

Patch from 1.12-r1 ebuild to 1.13.

This should do, while waiting for upstream to release 1.14 with my patch.

Note that I only reverted the KEYWORDS to ~ and added the freetype disable stuff there, so if it needs more ebuild changes... please check

Thanks.  Bumped.
