Comment 2 vvgloo 2014-12-14 07:09:37 UTC
I got the same error
Comment 3 Jaroslav Rakhmatoullin 2014-12-14 14:33:47 UTC
The cause for this failure seems to be in the (unstable) media-libs/freetype-2.5.4. Both the 2.02_beta2-r3 and r6 are building fine with (stable) media-libs/freetype-2.5.3-r1
Comment 4 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2014-12-14 16:58:09 UTC
Copying the freetype maintainers. Any idea why freetype would stop recognizing this pcf font?
Comment 5 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2014-12-14 19:39:03 UTC
This has been reported at freetype upstream. Adjusting summary and re-assigning.

Thanks for reporting and helping to narrow it down to a freetype problem.
