All gtk3 apps ignore the "light" weight setting and are rendering the font "normal".

[gentoo-user] Thunderbird 45.0 unreadable fonts
I upgraded thunderbird-bin from 38.7.0 to 45.0 and all window fonts became extremely washed-out, thin and generally unreadable. I then wiped the configuration files (mv ~/.thunderbird ~/tb_backup), but got the same issue. I then wiped it again and emerged normal thunderbird (sans "-bin"), same issue. I downgraded to 38.7.0 again, as the issue makes thunderbird virtually unusable. Anyone else with the same problem? I searched a lot, but I didn't find any reports for this, let alone a fix.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo on Tesla Model S!
Hi all, I just feel I must share this amusing news: Gentoo is now running on Tesla vehicle Model S thanks to Hemera! In short, Gentoo was cross-compiled for nVidia Tegra and is running in the chroot of official firmware. I'm unwilling to repost all story, so tighten your belts and follow details: http://www.su-tesla.space/2016/04/gentoo-tesla-t2-edition.html Best regards, Andrew Savchenko pgpHvm5mZIhPd.pgp Description: PGP signature

Everything was working but one: ATLAS@home. That's a BOINC project that downloads a .vdi file with a 64-bit client for VirtualBox. To get that to work I had to use later versions of some packages, viz: $ cat /etc/portage/package.keywords ~app-emulation/virtualbox-5.0.18 ~app-emulation/virtualbox-additions-5.0.18 ~app-emulation/virtualbox-extpack-oracle-5.0.18.106667 ~app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-5.0.18 ~dev-libs/libclc-0.1.0_pre20150305 ~sci-misc/boinc-7.4.42 sys-boot/gummiboot ~sys-devel/clang-3.6.2 ~sys-devel/llvm-3.6.2 sys-firmware/amdgpu-ucode ~sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.5.0 ~x11-drivers/xf86-video-amdgpu-1.1.0 > Going back to the GPU calculations, I'm quite certain that I couldn't ever > have succeeded with any other distro than Gentoo, with portage's uncanny > ability to winkle out the most obscure collisions and dependencies, so > I'm very happy to echo Alan Mackenzie's praise for it. > > Well done, our devs, and thank you!
