Dunno. IIRC, it's not too hard to make sure that fink doesn't put restrictively-licensed software on. Gentoo was very hard, last I tried.

Dude.. gentoo isn't that hard. I think after using Debian for too long, your brain must have gotten soft in the process ;) -- (o_ - Craig Butcher //\ - IT Technician / Unix Support MTH/ENV @ UEA V_/_ - http://www.wizball.co.uk

Tell me how to install X on gentoo from the standard package without the MS web fonts then, please.
Try putting "-truetype" in USE="" in make.conf? I don't frankly understand why you want MS web fonts and frankly I think you really need it (you just cannot beat those lovely fonts? ;) -- (o_ - Craig Butcher //\ - IT Technician / Unix Support MTH/ENV @ UEA V_/_ - http://www.wizball.co.uk

...but I want truetype support. Maybe I should just change it for the X install. Does it still build the support, just not install the fonts.

I don't want the MS web fonts, which was what I said.
