something wrong with pangpangofontfontconfigeefreetype friends. I am not
really sure which was at fault. My best guess is that the Xft Xftkbackend
not get built with PangPangoebecause-confconfign't know the correct path
to locate it before the build. Because pangpangoks like it will still
build without it. The other possibility may have been that TrueTrueTypets
are not enabled in the freefreetyperce by default because of patent crap
which I made sure I did the second time around.
 I basically just recompiled everything all over again to satisfy all the
GTK2GTKpendencies. Here's a partial list in order of install for anyone
having the same problems. freefreetypentfontconfignder (was renamed to
rendrenderextch made it harder to find the latest version),
xrenxrendernamed to libXlibXrenderlatest versions) xft xftnamed to
libXlibXfttk atkgpangoen the latest gtk+gtk
I went through all this trouble because I don't like the newer
bloabloatedsions of Gnome and KDE KDE really want an alternative. Looks
good do far.
