Bug 12098 – xft and pango don't jive

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description cluon 2002-12-13 12:38:14 UTC]

when emerging pango after installing latest xft:

pangoft2.c: In function `pango_ft2_font_get_face':
pangoft2.c:233: `FT_HINT_NO_INTEGER_STEM' undeclared (first use in this function)

possibly related to bug 11559, but this is against the default Xfree install,
and i've already taken the suggested measure of reinstalling xft after emerging X.

hmm missing slighthint patch in xft. comment out the patchline as suggested and
you should be fine. Thought azarah said he got the patch in, ill have a look.

I can confirm this bug when using xfree-4.2.1 and xft-2.0.1

commenting out the patch solves the problem

Your problem is that you should update freetype to 2.1.2-r2, or 2.1.3.

I'm having the same problem with freetype-2.1.3 and freetype-2.1.3-r1

Ok, many of the Slight Hint patch was already present, but seems like I missed
a few bits.  They are added to 2.1.3-r2.
