[gentoo-user] Wiki Howto: Xorg and Fonts, did I fatally screw up the directions?

[Rob]

The first thing I am not certain of is my recompilation of Xorg using 
the suggested USE flags.  I put the new USE flags in /etc/make.conf and 
then issued the command:  "emerge -N xorg-x11".  Will that work, or do I 
have to do the emerge with "emerge --newuse --enable bitmap-fonts 
truetype-fonts type1-fonts" explicitely?  Perhaps my understanding of 
USE flags is wrong for recompiling packages.

I wonder about this, because I enable the xtt module in my 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf, but I get an error message that the xtt module 
cannot be found.  Using slocate I confirmed that xtt is nowhere to be found.

I would ask the same question for compiling freetype and the fonts 
suggested.

In any case, Windowmaker runs as superuser, but fails as a simple user. 
  It claims it can't find any fonts.

I guess I haven't gotten to first base yet.

Thanks,

Rob.
