Also emerge media-fonts/intlfonts. I tried that, and emerge --pretend promptly told me that xorg 6.9 or=20 something was blocking virtually everything x-related. It was really=20 weird. It's also blocking xemacs (the package I think will fix this=20 mess). This probably means that I have to go find and fix my package=20 masks. The difficulty there is that there's a ton of junk I'm still=20 using (like Eclipse 3.1) which is masked. I think this is going to end=20 up being a battle between me and portage to sort out my package masks. =20 Is there a untampered copy of packages.mask (or whatever it's called)=20 that I can use to compare with mine to try and fix this mess? =2D-=20 http://lordsauronthegreat.googlepages.com/ --nextPart1968157.stIaBflBs0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBFCImyHcNVi48i054RAjVjAKChZ93pQf+kJVzsHEt56xFtWFxkgACgnPAe /Sbmuz3BK65nLOImQhdWhgE= =ffrk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1968157.stIaBflBs0-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
