Hi All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Some applications like OpenOffice have 'badly' anti-aliased fonts, since I |
| 4 |
updated Freetype a couple of months ago (see attached screenshot). Some of |
| 5 |
the characters look blurred, both in the text body and in the application |
| 6 |
menu. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I checked and found that I have two freetype packages installed (not sure if |
| 9 |
this is causing the messy fonts): |
| 10 |
======================================== |

# eix media-libs/freetype |

Then I had a look to see which packages depend on each: |

How come the same packages depend on both freetype slots? Should I remove |
| 70 |
freetype-1.3.1-r5, or am I missing something? |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
Any other ideas for fixing my fonts? |
