I compiled git and it works. Apparently, https://sourceforge.net/p/nedit/git/ci/1a441b957a7f37bb9ab7ae15fefd3f41d59b3da4/ is needed as a patch.
Just ran into this bug myself. Any update on including this patch? Another method to fix this would be to add the adobe-75dpi-fonts and adobe-wood Pi-fonts as deps in the ebuild or mention it in the post install? It might save users a lot of time trouble shooting.
I think I just ran into this myself... I installed nedit-5.6-r1 just now to try it out, but all it does is segfault. Cool!
