I’ve previously been getting EVE to work in Arch by downgrading freetype as suggested in this thread:

I just built a new system and decided to try out KDE as my DE instead of Xfce which I had been using before. I did the freetype downgrade as before…but unfortunately this breaks KDE (or specifically, SDDM). Has anyone had this issue or found a workaround?

KDE Plasma Version: 5.12  
SDDM Version 0.17
