11 If you read the messages, it should tell you which program is actually
12 pulling freetype and harfbuzz in with the flags you don't want. Are they
13 currently installed with the correct flags you want?
14
15 If they don't have the flags you want, try to force-emerge them with the
16 flags you do want and portage will complain "can't do that because of
17 ..." That should tell you the problem program. Do an emerge -C on that
18 program, re-emerge harfbuzz and freetype with the correct flags, and you
19 SHOULD be home and dry ...
