>=x11-libs/pango-1.44 dropped support for old bitmap fonts. We can convert (or really, wrap/embed) fonts from the legacy .bdf and .pcf formats into the OTB wrapper format using x11-apps/fonttosfnt. This commit adds FONT_OPENTYPE_COMPAT to font.eclass which packages installing bitmap fonts can set to opt-in to conversion/wrapping. Note that the font conversion isn't perfect -- it's good enough in many cases, but in some cases they may require tweaking via fontconfig to get pixel size right, antialiasing settings, ... Adds IUSE=+opentype-compat to any ebuilds which set FONT_OPENTYPE_COMPAT; enabled by default given discoverability of this issue may be difficult and presumably any font package enabling FONT_OPENTYPE_COMPAT will be useless without it anyway.
