Hi, I am trying to install media-fonts/fontawesome but the 4.7.0 version not the 5.1.0 one, how can I specify this? I can’t seem to get it working. Thanks in advance Last edited by braz2kuk on Fri Mar 22, 2019 8:27 pm; edited 1 time in total

You can use

Code:

# emerge =media-fonts/fontawesome-4.7.0

but for prevent future update you should mask newer version with /etc/portage/package.mask
