I understand that freetype-2.7 enabled by default the code that emulates the so called ClearType technique on Windows (a.k.a. blurry fonts). In older versions that code was turned on with the "infinality" USE flag. "infinality" is still there but now there is also a new "cleartype_hinting" flag.

Hi, it's possible to use htop without the cgroup config in your kernel, but htop is able to display cgroups (which it obviously isn't able to if those aren't enabled in the kernel), so emerge throws this warning. If you don't want to display your cgroups in htop you don't need to change anythin
