Re: libpangoxft doesnt exist

ok i think the problem is with xft. which i had to manually unmask, and=20
emerge, in order for pango to even try creating libpangoxft.
why is x11-libs/xft masked? is there some more stable alternative? if=20
so, what is it?

without xft, my /usr/lib/libpango* is like this:
/usr/lib/libpango-1.0.la  /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so ->=20
libpango-1.0.so.0.0.5
/usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0 -> libpango-1.0.so.0.0.5
/usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0.0.5  /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.la =20
/usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so -> libpangoft2-1.0.so.0.0.5
/usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 -> libpangoft2-1.0.so.0.0.5
/usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0.0.5  /usr/lib/libpangox-1.0.la =20
/usr/lib/libpangox-1.0.so -> libpangox-1.0.so.0.0.5
/usr/lib/libpangox-1.0.so.0 -> libpangox-1.0.so.0.0.5
/usr/lib/libpangox-1.0.so.0.0.5 =20
and from building pango:
checking for freetype-config... /usr/bin/freetype-config
checking for FT_New_Face in -lfreetype... yes
checking For sufficiently new FreeType (at least 2.0.1)... yes
checking freetype/internal/tterrors.h usability... no
checking freetype/internal/tterrors.h presence... no
checking for freetype/internal/tterrors.h... no
checking for FT_Get_First_Char... yes
checking for XRenderFindFormat in -lXrender... yes
checking for XftFontOpen in -lXft... yes
checking X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h usability... no
checking X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h presence... no
checking for X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h... no

but if i emerge xft and then pango, here's what it looks like:
checking for freetype-config... /usr/bin/freetype-config
checking for FT_New_Face in -lfreetype... yes
checking For sufficiently new FreeType (at least 2.0.1)... yes
checking freetype/internal/tterrors.h usability... no
checking freetype/internal/tterrors.h presence... no
checking for freetype/internal/tterrors.h... no
checking for FT_Get_First_Char... yes
checking for XRenderFindFormat in -lXrender... yes
checking for XftFontOpen in -lXft... yes
checking X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h usability... no
checking X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h presence... yes

and then it compiling happily until it runs into said XftFreetype.h:
