Latter version is definitely preferable, as otherwise FontForge will
never again be upgraded (right?).
Actually the former is incorrect b/c a keyword isn't specified for the
package. You'd need:
echo "=media-gfx/fontforge-20060406 ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
(and ~x86 should be ~amd64 for those running 64-bit)
That would have the effect of only allowing that particular _unstable_
version of fontforge to be installed. Once a newer version was marked
stable, that version would be superseded. However, the latter one will
continually install the most recent unstable version of fontforge. To
me, the former seems better if I'm trying to keep an overall stable system.
