Description Milan Kníek 2006-03-08 05:24:10 UTC

Hello,

it would be nice to add a new use flag to wine ebuild to enable the fontforge dependency?

If fontforge is installed, wine compiles also the standard MS Windows fonts needed by apps to display correctly (the fonts must be placed in c:\windows\fonts - or linked to /usr/share/fonts/wine).

Could you tell us which configure switch you use exactly? I'm getting strange standard fonts with 0.9.9 too. I doubt whether it is useful to make this configure switch a use flag, since wine is pretty useless without it.

I think there is no switch. Configure script just checks if freetype and fontforge are installed. From user's view-point I agree that the dependency may be set as default.
--- configure.ac ---
dnl Only build the fonts dir if we have both freetype and fontforge
if test "$FONTFORGE" != "false" -a -n "$FREETYPELIBS"
then
  AC_SUBST(FONTSSUBDIRS,"fonts")
fi

since fontforge requires freetype, ive added it to the DEPEND inside of the truetype?() code

thanks for the report
