Description Mircea Sava 2018-04-22 18:32:31 UTC
1. LyX already has dev-texlive/texlive-fontsrecommended as a dependency.
2. dev-texlive/texlive-fontsextra is annoyingly large.
3. adding forced extras defeats the whole point of a modular system.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Lorenzo Bertini 2023-04-30 10:39:03 UTC
This is still the case, fontsextra gets pulled as dependency. I agree with the points made above, and would like this bug revisited :).

Thank you in advance.

Well... some fonts there are commonly used (as beramono)... but I agree that maybe it should be moved behind an "extras" USE flag or rely on optfeature.eclass

    app-office/lyx: add 2.3.7
    
    Also makes dev-texlive/texlive-fontsextra in favor of a warning of some fonts
    being missing if not installed.
