Technical info: The problem you are seeing is probably because there are incompatibilities in the font cache files (which are created by fc-cache) between the FreeBSD native libfreetype and the linux libfreetype. The fonts which both are trying to access are the FreeBSD ones (we do not install them a second time for the linuxulator, we use the ones which are already there in FreeBSD). If you run the linux fc-cache, you may cause problems for the FreeBSD native libfreetype. This is the reason why the Makefile says what it says. What we need is a libfreetype for FreeBSD and for the linuxulator, which shares the same font cache format. The older the linux base port, the less the probability to find a suitable libfreetype for this linux base.
