Description Omar Chanouha 2008-11-06 21:14:48 UTC
In order to have truetype support in Fluxbox I had to add truetype to my USE flags. When I first loaded Fluxbox all the fonts were too small and nothing I was doing would fix it. After about an hour I checked the Fluxbox flags with emrge -pv and noticed that -truetype was being used. Hopefully by adding 1 sentence to the doc, this won't happen to someone else. 

Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge fluxbox
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Fluxbox was compiled without truetype functionality

Expected Results:  
Fluxbox should have truetype functionality

The ebuild is fine, the doc just needs to be updated.

Well, technically, that is your own fault for not running emerge -pv before installing Fluxbox. ;) Also, the ebuild doesn't use "-truetype"; it just doesn't specify anything particular with regards to its activation. If you had truetype in make.conf, or were running a "desktop" profile, truetype would be on by default.

However, I think I'll rework the guide some anyway, as there are some other USE flags that need addressing, like vim-syntax.

Fixed. In the USE flags example, I used "truetype", so this way users see it as a possibility.
