Has anyone else run into this? Is it perhaps the emulation libraries being a problem?
Most certainly. Though for most people experiencing font problems after upgrading the emul-packages, this only lead to "blurry fonts". The problem is that we're distributing a 32bit copy of freetype in emul-linux-x86-xlibs. As it's binary, we have to use USE=bindist to avoid legal problems. Unfortunately that means that some dll-loading code is replaced with some other code, which is why the fonts suddenly look different. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167632 As for the solution: You can a) build your own freetype [1] or b) convince me that we won't run into legal problems when distributing a USE=-bindist freetype :) [1] See http://amd64.gentoo.org/emul for some hints -- Kind Regards, Simon Stelling Gentoo/AMD64 -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
