At 2017-10, I updated to FreeBSD 11.1 from 10.3 by freebsd-update, portsnap,
and portupgrade. It was no problem for font.
I used portnap and portupgrade at 2018-10 again, then some japanese x font =
are
not recognized:

  japanese/font-elisa8, japaese/font-naga10, japanese/font-shinonome,
  japanese/font-kanji18, japanese/font-kappa20, japanese/font-kanji26

These fonts are listed by "xlsfonts" but not "xlsfonts -l", and cannot be
displayed by xfd and xfontsel. But fonts of japanese/font-jisx0213 are
displayed.

Current Xorg may not recognize symbolic link to the real font file (.pcf.gz=
).
In fact, for example, the font file
/usr/local/share/fonts/misc/shnmk14min.pcf.gz is installed as a symbolic li=
nk
to /usr/local/share/font-shinonome/shnmk14min.pcf.gz and can not be used. I=
f I
copy the real file to /usr/local/share/fonts/misc, or change symbolic link =
to
hard link, we can use it.

To solve the problem, to change these ports to copy the font files to
/usr/local/share/fonts/misc/ directly, or to make hard link instead of symb=
olic
link, while Xorg don't recognize symlink font files.
