That's great, but please *PLEASE* help improve the ebuilds by finding
out exactly which package it is that you needed, so that we can add a
dependency in the ebuild, so that noone has to run into the same
problem *ever* again on Gentoo. Please!

Now that you have them installed you could use quickpkg to create
tbz2 packages of them all, then uninstall them all and install one
tbz2 binpkg at a time until it starts working. Then uninstall them
all again, and install *only* that tbz2 binpkg to verify that it was
sufficient.

My guess is that it is one of these: corefonts freefont-ttf freefonts
liberation-fonts terminus-font ttf-bitstream-vera

So I'd remove all the packages you installed and try one at a time in
my list. And then verify that it is indeed just one of them that is
needed. If you find out which package does the trick I commit to
getting that dependency into the ebuild. A screenshot of the broken
state would also be helpful. (I like the import tool from
ImageMagick. Run:

 import geda.png

And wait for the crosshair pointer, then click on the window you want
to capture. import saves to the filename you specified.


Thank you
