Upgraded to app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs-10.0 and all my fonts became blurry and almost unreadable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs-10.0 2. Restart applications using the libraries 3.

That's because the included media-fonts/freetype-2.1.10-r2 was built with USE=bindist. I don't think we can build it with USE=-bindist because of license reasons. Either way, this is not related to the emul-packages but freetype itself, so there's nothing the AMD64 team could do about. I'm sorry. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 139776 ***

Reemerging app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs with the qt3 useflag solved this one for me.

Why not create an ebuild for building a 32bit freetype from source inside a 64bit system? Or modify the freetype ebuild to also create a 32bit version on amd64?

Instructions to compile 32 bit version of free type library with patented algorithms: 1) Install emul-linux-x86-libs. 2) Unpack freetype-2.3.7 source code. 3) Edit file include/freetype/config/ftoption.h uncomment #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER uncomment #define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING comment out #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_UNPATENTED_HINTING 4) Run following commands CC="gcc -m32" ./configure --target=i686-linux --libdir=/usr/lib32 make strip objs/.libs/libfreetype.so.6.3.18 cp objs/.libs/libfreetype.so.6.3.18 /usr/lib32 Fixed the unusable fonts for me. I used emul-linux-x86-libs-20080810 and freetype 2.3.7, but it should work with any version (with minor tweaks).
