* x11-misc/fontconfig Latest version available: 2.0 Latest version installed: 2.0 Homepage: http://fontconfig.org Description: fontconfig - library for configuring and customizing font access. I quote Red Hat: " 3. In a few places where we feel that there are significant advantages to sharing underlying technology between the desktops, we've made code modifications to use this technology. An examples of this is modifying both desktops to use Xft2 and fontconfig for font rendering." http://people.redhat.com/otaylor/rh-desktop.html Fontconfig (+XFT2) can be used for different packages (mozilla, pango ea.), so to use it, packages (mozilla, pango ea.) need to be patched/ebuild-changed... So nothing new (yet), and HIGHLY experimental...But hey, why are we here in the 1st place ? ;-p Regards, Rigo

You'll want to configure & install the included Xft1 as well, otherwise the older apps won't work right since the settings file has changed. Do that before Xrender. It would probably be better to use configure to build Xft (2.0) properly. Then go back and do xmkmf -a; make install.man in Xft (2.0) and fontconfig to install the manual pages. You also might want to make sure the packageconfig files get placed in the right location, as when I built this a week ago they were put in the wrong place. I've also include the URL to the official fontconfig-2 homepage by Keith Packard: http://www.fontconfig.org
Done...Had to rebuid almost all (and made two packages out of one, because fontconfig & xrender (especially their headers) need to be in place before libXft1 compiles ok (tried to patch everything, but that didn't work either) Regards, Rigo
