Re: garnome on SuSE9.0, PangoProblem

[Marciano Siniscalchi <marciano northwestern edu>]

Hmmm... I built both 2.6.2 and 2.8.0 on two different SuSE 9.0 machines, 
and did not have any trouble with Pango (I did have to update a couple 
of other packages though, but nothing related to font rendering).

Actually, this:

says (I believe) that Garnome is using the version of Freetype in /usr, 
not the one from the bootstrap directory (which would be installed in 
$HOME/garnome, unless you are Garnome installing to /usr).

I don't know whether this is the problem or not. I have a standard SuSE 
freetype2 (2.1.4) installation, and all was fine on my machine. But, I 
have tried in the past to install more recent versions of Freetype 
(2.1.8, as I recall), and had problems with certain problems (e.g. KDVI, 
the KDE DVI previewer).

Just my $.00002 worth...
