All this is about make the min changes to ports for the next goals: - get the most uptodate URW type1 fonts from only one place achieved by ports/67516 - make min changes to gs ports to use this port and don't install fonts via ports/67574 ports/67596 - teach fontconfig/libXFT about gsfonst. via ports/67552 - teach xfs/Xserver about gsfonts. this mail related. And I think this is not a so trivial task. =BFCan be x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable changed to not install Type1=20 fonts by default? ttf fonts seems enough for fullfill the needs of the apps depends. And=20 the fontconfig change make the gsfonts (type1 URW fonts) avaiable via=20 libXFT. The x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable may RUN_DEPENDS on print/gsfonts if=20 we need type1 fonts. But I have no idea about how to change the default config of xfs, or the=20 generated XF86Config. I do these changes by hand, But I notice the method in print/gsfonts=20 pkg-message. Also, I managed gsfonts to use Adobe fontmetrics in fonts.dir, so the=20 port may be a candidate for replacement of urwfonts as depend of ports=20 like jdk14 (Can anyone test this. It seems working here). After the changes. I'm using just one versi=F3n of the URW type1 fonts,=20 from a well defined place and port, shared vi xfs, Xserver, libXFT,=20 fontconfig and java. Maybe these changes welcome? Can I offer a patch (by mail or send-pr) against=20 x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable? Can anyone work in xfs/XF86Config if needed? =2D- josemi
