Description Yu Yuwei 2013-02-08 06:06:23 UTC 
without media-fonts/font-misc-misc, echomixer would report font error and refuse to start. After install media-fonts/font-misc-misc( provide -misc-fixed-*-*-10-*) and restart X, echomixer finally start without problems. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge alsa-tools with indigoio as ALSA_CARDS in a system without font-misc-misc
2. run echomixer in terminal

Actual Results:  
echomixer failed to start with "Cannot find the font"

Expected Results:  
echomixer can be launched

After I tried several fonts with the misc suffix one by one, I found the only font need to install is media-fonts/font-misc-misc.

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/alsa-tools.git/tree/alsa-tools.spec:

Requires:       xorg-x11-fonts-misc

Indeed. Dependency added to Portage.
Comment 2 Alexander E. Patrakov 2014-06-24 05:25:07 UTC 
Well, it is added unconditionally if the gtk USE flag is selected. I think that this dependency is too coarse. The proper dependency should have something to do with alsa_cards_something, but there is no "something" for Echo cards.
