Description Ostashevskyi Viktor 2019-03-20 09:59:09 UTC 
It looks like media-gfx/fontforge is used to build OpenSymbol TrueType font, but it we can specify '--enable-build-opensymbol' and use prepackaged 49a64f3bcf20a7909ba2751349231d6652ded9cd2840e961b5164d09de3ffa63-opens___.ttf file.

Cumbersome and inoperative /usr/share/applications/fontforge.desktop is installed.which is embarrassing.

Doesnt make much sense to me, we do build stuff from source here.

Yes, we build binaries. Do we really **need** to build fonts as well?
