17 Well, I finally did manage to get harfbuzz installed which brings up
18 another question. First, I tried to find the package for the
19 /usr/bin/gtkdoc packages and found none. So, on a hunch, I emerged
20 dev-utils/gtk-doc and discovered I did not have the package in my
21 install. So, I did it anyway and after that harfbuzz installed. So,
22 the question is, should I put that in my world file -- which seems
23 wrong to me, or is there a missing dependency somewhere or what?
