rrdtool depends on x11-fonts/dejavu for the graphing functionality. Previous versions of rrdtool used to ship with their own version of the font. With current versions of rrdtool, a runtime dependency on x11-fonts/dejavu is required for graphing to work. How-To-Repeat: On a system without x11-fonts/dejavu, install databases/rrdtool and an arbitrary piece of RRD graphing software (e.g. net-mgmt/collectd using WITH_CGI=yes). RRDs::graph will throw error messages indicating that the dejavu font could not be found. The resulting graph images are broken. Then proceed to install x11-fonts/dejavu and retry. RRDs::graph will now work fine and produce graphs as expected.
