Description Nikos Chantziaras 2012-07-29 21:07:31 UTC

media-libs/freetype-2.4.10-r1 adds an lcdfilter USE flag that does *not* control LCD "filtering" (sub pixel rendering).  Freetype always supports that since a few versions now.  Building with "-lcdfilter" does not disable that feature.

The USE flag should be renamed to reflect what it is. It is not a flag that enables/disables Freetype SPR.  It's a flag that replaces Freetype's implementation with a third-party one.  Please name the flag "infinality" or whatever.  *Not* "lcdfilter".

I agree that the infinality useflag is more precise, so I have changed it.
