Description Antti Mäkelä 2009-05-30 22:34:21 UTC

Global USE-flag "raw" is

Add support for raw image formats

However, media-fonts/terminus font defines a 

Local flag: Install RAW font data which should be compatible with most UNIX systems (you don't need this on linux)

Now, I have raw-support enabled (for example, Krita and kphotoalbum uses this flag) and when I did recent system update I suddendly ended up with (unneeded) RAW font data for terminus-font. 

Suggestion: Rename one of the flags.

Assigning to media-fonts/terminus-font maintainer since it gives the global use flag some other meaning.

Thank you for report, Antti. Renamed raw USE flag into raw-font-data.
