Corefonts and friends...

was surprised by the fonts that were still masked, so I set up a portage overlay and manually unmasked a bunch of them. They all built cleanly, and appear to function as normal:

[corefonts]
[efont-unicode]
[freefonts]
[kochi-substitute]
[konfont]
[mikachan-font]
[monafont]
[mplus-fonts]
[sharefonts]
[unifont]
[baekmuk-fonts]
[arphicfonts]
[aquapfont]
[aquafont]

corefonts was masked because the fonts are now installed from the XFree ebuild, with the truetype USE flag enabled (IIRC). i guess some of the other font packages were masked for the same reason..?

ah.. well, the reason I went looking for font packages was because the X install seemed to have so few of them. My system seems much more hospitable, now that there are more than two or three entries in font selection dialogues. =)

I also needed to edit /etc/fonts/local.conf to include the font dir created with the truetype USE flag before X could see them.

<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype</dir>
