Description John Steele Scott 2003-06-24 06:05:52 UTC
This patch addresses two issues:

1) By default, LyX is set to use ispell as the spell-checker, but the Gentoo
ebuild lists aspell as the spell-checker which the ebuild depends on. For those
who have not already installed ispell for some other reason, spell-check in LyX
is broken until they go to the preferences menu and select aspell. 

2) When it is first run, LyX defaults to using the standard X fonts Times,
Helvetica and Courier. All of the Gentoo xfree ebuilds install the Microsoft
Truetype equivalents of these, being Times New Roman, Verdana and Courier New.
These fonts look better on the screen, especially when scaled to bigger sizes.

Reproducible: Always

patch against the current configure patch 

This is a patch against a patch which we already apply, being
lyx-1.3.2-configure.

Also, readability of this ebuild would be improved by making it "inherit base"
and replacing the src_unpack() function with
PATCHES="${FILESDIR}/${P}-configure.diff".
