If you actually read the above, you will see:
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request: - media-fonts/arabeyes-fonts-1.1 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
It's masked by the ~x86 keyword, you will need to keyword it in
/etc/portage/package.keywords.
Actually, I did read it (several times before I figured it out). Correct me
if I'm wrong, ~x86 is "experimental" or "developer", right? How about an
emerge option that says "ignore all experimental" packages?
There is no stable version of that package, and in both cases you
are explictly asking portage to 'emerge arabeyes-fonts' ( although in
the first case in a roundabout way ). If you explicitly ask it to
install something it shouldn't ignore the package because it's masked
and no stable version is available. It should tell you it's masked and
that it can't isntall it, which it does.
