As a not-really-GTK-using person, I still have both GTK2 and GTK3 installed on
my system running KDE Plasma. Not for vim though:
Installed packages to be REMOVED:
gtk2-2.24.32
fontforge-20170731
mftrace-1.2.18_1
Installed packages to be REMOVED:
gtk3-3.22.30_4
gpsd-3.17
I'm a fan of pushing for toolkit migration, so reducing the number of things
that pull in GTK2 is a good thing.
So if we're expressing hopes that ports might be made GTK2-free (by porting to
GTK3 for instance) then I'd hope that fontforge gets that treatment, too. From
looking at the source repo, I don't think the GTK2 option actually works (and
the comments suggest it's not all that good anyway). In the configure.ac it
looks like there are spelling-inconsistencies between
fontforge_can_use_gtk=yes
and, e.g,,
FONTFORGE_ARG_ENABLE_GDK
(mtrace depends on fontforge, so fixing fontforge would clean GTK2 off my
system)
