This is not a solution in itself, but you might try this. |

Download the TexLive-2007 DVD [1]. This is a recent TeX distribution, |
| 17 |
compared to the ancient TeTeX one. Check to see if it provides the |
| 18 |
fonts you need. If it does, you might attempt to remove TeTeX by |
| 19 |
following the correspondent removal guide [2], sync Portage, tweak the |
| 20 |
USE flags so as to suit your needs and emerge =texlive-2007. |

This week I have successfully switched from TeTeX to TeXLive, |
| 23 |
following the guide mentioned earlier. TeXLive contains more recent |
| 24 |
fonts (also, consider to check the CTAN for what it provides before |
| 25 |
downloading the .iso image), like the cm-super (that I needed for the |
| 26 |
bold small caps), and is probably more or less up to date and complete |
| 27 |
if you enable the needed USE flags. |
