Hi, I'm the originator of PRs ports/67516, ports/67552, ports/67574 and ports/67596. 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. ¿Can be x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable changed to not install Type1 fonts by default? ttf fonts seems enough for fullfill the needs of the apps depends. And the fontconfig change make the gsfonts (type1 URW fonts) avaiable via libXFT. The x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable may RUN_DEPENDS on print/gsfonts if we need type1 fonts. But I have no idea about how to change the default config of xfs, or the generated XF86Config. I do these changes by hand, But I notice the method in print/gsfonts pkg-message. Also, I managed gsfonts to use Adobe fontmetrics in fonts.dir, so the port may be a candidate for replacement of urwfonts as depend of ports like jdk14 (Can anyone test this. It seems working here). After the changes. I'm using just one versión of the URW type1 fonts, from a well defined place and port, shared vi xfs, Xserver, libXFT, fontconfig and java. Maybe these changes welcome? Can I offer a patch (by mail or send-pr) against x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable? Can anyone work in xfs/XF86Config if needed? -- josemi
