I see. Using cabextract did not occur  to me, and I assumed, the *32.exe
are the same  fonts, but use a different extracting  program (more icons
and other bloat during extractions time).

AFAIK, XFree86 only uses koi8-r:

	mi@misha:X11/fonts/cyrillic (311) grep koi8-r */fonts.dir | wc -l
	     142
	mi@misha:X11/fonts/cyrillic (312) grep koi8-ru */fonts.dir | wc -l
	       0

Let's ask AChe.  Is koi8-ru the same  as koi8-u, or is it  a yet another
standard? The  fonts worked for me  (I use Ukrainian locale),  but there
might be some differences I don't notice.

Also, there are other applications  for fonts (image creation, printing)
--  by themselves  they don't  require X_PREFIX.  That's why  my version
installed under ${LOCALBASE}/share. Strictly speaking, if WITHOUT_X11 is
set,  the port  should  not  even bother  creating  fonts.dir  -- I  was
planning to add this later.

Also, it seems to me (and Will), that package creation is Ok -- the .ttf
files are not  modified, so the license is not  broken. NO_CDROM is what
should stay on...

Yours,
