If you use xfree 4.3.0, please unmerge xft, then try again.
Comment 2 Roc Vallès 2003-06-24 04:31:09 UTC 
Unmerging it solved the problem. Thanks.

By the way, why?
Comment 3 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-24 05:14:17 UTC 
It brings its own xft with it. Therefore the packages in current versions block each other - but there was some time window of about one week in april where they didn't. Quite likely you emerged one of the packages back then.
