Hi All,
Some applications like OpenOffice have 'badly' anti-aliased fonts, since I
updated Freetype a couple of months ago (see attached screenshot). Some of
the characters look blurred, both in the text body and in the application
menu.
I checked and found that I have two freetype packages installed (not sure if
this is causing the messy fonts):
========================================
# eix media-libs/freetype
[I] media-libs/freetype
Available versions:
(1) 1.3.1-r4 1.3.1-r5
(2) 2.1.9-r1 2.1.10-r2 2.1.10-r3 2.3.3 2.3.4-r2
Installed versions: 1.3.1-r5(1)(18:26:12 02/13/07)(nls -tetex)
2.3.4-r2(2)(19:32:36 05/21/07)
(X -bindist -debug -doc zlib)
Homepage: http://www.freetype.org/
Description: A high-quality and portable font engine
========================================
Then I had a look to see which packages depend on each:
========================================

========================================
How come the same packages depend on both freetype slots? Should I remove
freetype-1.3.1-r5, or am I missing something?
Any other ideas for fixing my fonts?
