Description Heiner Kuhlmann 2007-11-30 19:36:42 UTC

Perl/Tk provides anitaliasing support.
It should be enabled in the ebuild of dev-perl/perl-tk.
The current version of perl-tk looks old-fashioned.

Simply change in dev-perl/perl-tk/perl-tk-804.027.ebuild

   myconf="-I/usr/include/ -l/usr/$(get_libdir)"

to

   myconf="-I/usr/include/ -l/usr/$(get_libdir) XFT=1"

I am using this option for several years and it works fine.
I tested a local ebuild and it works.
If the X does not support antialiasing XFT=1 is ignored by "perl Makefile.PL".

Reproducible: Always
