In order to use media-video/vcsi version 7-r7, I had to add the USE flag "truetype " to dev-python/pillow in order to solve the following error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.9/vcsi", line 33, in <module> sys.exit(load_entry_point('vcsi==7', 'console_scripts', 'vcsi')()) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/vcsi/__init__.py", line 3, in main vcsi.vcsi.main() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/vcsi/vcsi.py", line 1331, in main process_file(filename, args) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/vcsi/vcsi.py", line 1389, in process_file image = compose_contact_sheet(media_info, selected_frames, args) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/vcsi/vcsi.py", line 771, in compose_contact_sheet header_font = ImageFont.truetype(args.metadata_font, args.metadata_font_size) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/PIL/ImageFont.py", line 853, in truetype return freetype(font) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/PIL/ImageFont.py", line 850, in freetype return FreeTypeFont(font, size, index, encoding, layout_engine) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/PIL/ImageFont.py", line 173, in __init__ freetype_version = parse_version(features.version_module("freetype2")) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/packaging/version.py", line 57, in parse return Version(version) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/packaging/version.py", line 296, in __init__ match = self._regex.search(version) TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object see also: https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/5444 Adding dev-python/pillow truetype to my package.use file fixed this problem - but I think that should be handled by the vcsi ebuild automatically.
Here I got was a bit different, but still fixed by [truetype] ImportError: The _imagingft C module is not installed ...and [jpeg] OSError: encoder jpeg not available
