This ebuild, with multilib features, was committed without my consent,
while I am the de facto maintainer of freetype and fontconfig (other devs
in fonts herd are inactive). I don't want to deal with bug reports because
of this.

And I'd rather see this developed in an overlay instead, as I have said
before. We also need more consensus on this multilib approach before I am
happy to support this.

No, just a line in my vimrc that removes trailing whitespace.
