Ok, I *think* if you build fluxbox with USE=truetype, it will use the |
| 12 |
freetype library to lookup and render fonts. This would be the good |
| 13 |
thing. |

Without this flag, it probably uses the FontPath from the X server to |
| 16 |
locate and render them. So make sure you have truetype in USE for |
| 17 |
fluxbox. |

In both cases, for lucida fonts you probably need |
| 20 |
"media-fonts/lfpfonts-fix" installed. |
