Most certainly. Though for most people experiencing font problems after |
| 6 |
upgrading the emul-packages, this only lead to "blurry fonts". The |
| 7 |
problem is that we're distributing a 32bit copy of freetype in |
| 8 |
emul-linux-x86-xlibs. As it's binary, we have to use USE=bindist to |
| 9 |
avoid legal problems. Unfortunately that means that some dll-loading |
| 10 |
code is replaced with some other code, which is why the fonts suddenly |
| 11 |
look different. |

As for the solution: You can a) build your own freetype [1] or b) |
| 16 |
convince me that we won't run into legal problems when distributing a |
| 17 |
USE=-bindist freetype :) |
