 I think texlive
(is a pain in the ass....)

Numerous times over the years, I have had fits with texlive*

Heres's my scratch notes the last time I figured
out the issue was fonts....
(another time it was EVILution.....(evolution).

 1) equery b -f '/etc/texmf/.*'
        2) Uninstalling all of the above reported ebuilds.
        3) rm -rf /etc/texmf/*
        rm -rf /usr/share/texmf*
        emerge -C `qlist -I -C dev-texlive/*`
        4) emerge -1 texlive 

YMMV.

Basically, remove everything with textlive in the name
as well as dependent packages (if all else fails)

and check that it wants to install the version of textlive-*
you need/want. Finding the actual culprit often burns many
hours of hunt and seek.......

Ocationally I have to rebuild the system....
caveat emptor......


Good hunting,
HTH,

James
