That's what my patch mentions. + In order to create your fonts, you will need a recent version of fontforge. + fontforge 20050803 works. NOTE TO GENTOO USERS: fontforge 20050624 does not + work. Use fontforge 20060406 from the ~ARCH repository. Cheers, Kai -- Kai Blin, (blin at gmx dot net) A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. -- Patton

Add these lines for those people that ask us how to use ~ARCH fontforge instead of RTFMing: To enable ~ARCH fontforge without setting your whole system ~ARCH, do this (as root): echo "=media-gfx/fontforge-20060406" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

Wine only needs version 20060406, so why set it to always pull them from ~ARCH? Someone who wanted to do that would likely be in ~ARCH anyways. Unless there's a reason to use other ~ARCH versions than 20060406, there's no reason for someone not in ~ARCH to get them (until they're moved out of ~). --Murph

Latter version is definitely preferable, as otherwise FontForge will never again be upgraded (right?).

Actually the former is incorrect b/c a keyword isn't specified for the package. You'd need: echo "=media-gfx/fontforge-20060406 ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords (and ~x86 should be ~amd64 for those running 64-bit) That would have the effect of only allowing that particular _unstable_ version of fontforge to be installed. Once a newer version was marked stable, that version would be superseded. However, the latter one will continually install the most recent unstable version of fontforge. To me, the former seems better if I'm trying to keep an overall stable system. Ryan -- Ryan May Graduate Research Assistant School of Meteorology University of Oklahoma

I believe that former version will unmask only given version while latter version will unmask all unstable versions of fontforge, forcing users to update every time new version is available. So, using former version, x86 keyworded systems will be updated to 20060406 version, and will stay on it until more recent version will be marked as stable.
