Description Le Baron d'Merde 2017-01-12 23:19:28 UTC
There are several updates already of infinality packages. The last one was at 03-May-2016.

Thanks!

Looking on here: https://github.com/bohoomil/fontconfig-ultimate/issues/171

Apparently there is no more "official" support for freetype >=2.7 since the patches had be merged on freetype.

I removed it and re-adjusted (eselect) fontconfig, and had from (IMO) equally to better results depending on configurations choices.

So, eventually, indeed Infinality patches may be considered deprecated for freetype >=2.7.

Thanks!

From that link, it seems now people should move to https://github.com/archfan/infinality_bundle

We have newer fontconfig for a long time and, indeed, I stopped using infinality as I get nice fonts with default set... Is infinality still needed for any use case?

Thanks

This bug has nothing to do with media-fonts/fonts-meta, and infinality is long gone
