When I use freelords 0.3.4 with paragui 1.0.4 I don't get any text in the dialogboxes and windows. No text at all. Everything else seems to be displayed as it should be. Any fix for this? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
reopen with the output of emerge --info and the output spit out when you try to run freelords from the command-line. Also, the output of the command "groups" and the command "which freelords". Thanks.
No reply and works for me. Closing.
I'm truly sorry for not reporting this sooner.

Is the problem with freelords or can it be the fonts in X that are giving me a headace?
No text in the pulldown menus in game either? Guess it could be a font config issue but from the output it seems to find everything it needs. You could try compiling up paragui and freelords (and as much of the other stuff from emerge -evp freelords as you like) with CFLAGS="-pipe" and CXXFLAGS="-pipe" and see if that makes a difference. You're going to have to be pretty proactive in tracking this down yourself I'm afraid since it works fine here and my setup is pretty similar except for your cflags. just for more data, what are you using for X and the desktop?
I'm using Xorg and fluxbox-0.9.8 Yes I suspect it is a font issue. No text anywhere in the menues.
In bug #70760 I have reported another font problem, that program is also using the vera font. Seems strange.
what's "locate -i /vera" show on your system?

Problem solved! I changed the build option for media-libs/freetype to disable "bindist", and now it works! Great!!
glad things are working for you. nice work tracking that down.
