I cannot start enlightenment, I get this
may 09 12:37:36 dell-2017 /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[8202]: <<<< Enlightenment Error >>>>
may 09 12:37:36 dell-2017 /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[8202]: Enlightenment descubrió que Evas no puede cargar la fuente 'Sans'. Verifique que
may 09 12:37:36 dell-2017 /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[8202]: Evas tenga soporte para fontconfig y ello define una fuente 'Sans'.
may 09 12:37:36 dell-2017 /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[8202]: E: Begin Shutdown Procedure!


That means that cannot find font Sans

Per:
https://enlightenment-users.narkive.com/OvFfsHwE/e-users-evas-can-t-load-the-sans-font

This would be caused by efl being built without fontconfig support... maybe it should RDEPEND on efl[fontconfig] then

Thanks

Hmm, I guess this could be solved by having user-defined custom fonts.conf. 

I remember running enlightenment without fontconfig, however it's a hard-dep for terminology and having it always enabled makes sense to me. Tomorrow should be a new release for efl-1.24.1 and enlightenment-0.24, so I'll probably force it for those.

Added RDEPEND=">=dev-libs/efl-1.24.1[eet,fontconfig,X]" for 0.24.0, 
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=31295e5209b5dc6b55911165134f1803e7f1b0b3

Even if it's usable with -fontconfig and having custom fonts.conf in user's directory, this is more foolproof way for providing a working WM.
