Emerging rxvt-unicode with truetype doesn't activate --enable-xft. It works if you add "xft" to USE. OT: It's great that the new version got uploaded to portage.
Created attachment 83521 [details, diff] rxvt-unicode-7.7.ebuild.patch here's the patch for the ebuild.
Thanks, but there is no need to add another use flag; see the description of use_with: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1 fixed in cvs.
There was a $(use_enable xft) in the ebuild that was quietly disabling xft. So you either need a new USE flags for xft, or you need to enable xft with one of the other flags. Phil
