You need to unmask pango-1.1 and gtk+2.1 and use those.  I do with gnome-2.0 and
it works fine.
(just update libgnomeui to latest revision, else you may get segfaults).
Comment 4 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-11-24 18:28:14 UTC 
After thought:  gtk+-2.0 failing with Xft2.0 installed is not a bug, but rather
a known limitation.  That
is why atk+-1.1, pango-1.1 and gtk+-2.1 is in the works ...
Comment 5 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-11-25 10:26:28 UTC 
And you are chosen to test it with us since you unmasked the xft2 ebuild ;) May
i add that you really need libgnomeui-2.0.5-r1 as Azarah said or things will
segfault.

Comment 7 Haroon Rafique 2002-11-25 11:44:58 UTC 
I won't be able to test this anymore since I have a successful compile for:

x11-libs/gtk+-2.1.2

by upgrading to:

x11-libs/pango-1.1.3
dev-libs/atk-1.1.1

sorry...
Comment 8 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-11-25 17:20:37 UTC 
that is the test
Comment 9 Leon Chiver 2002-11-26 02:28:37 UTC 
I've unmerged xft2, then re-emerged gtk-2.0.9 and got it working. Thanks for
your fast reaction.
