            Bug ID: 226518
           Summary: [patch] japanese/font-kappa20: Cannot use the font
                    files with the latest x11-fonts/libXfont
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: CQG00620@nifty.ne.jp
                CC: ginga-freebsd@ginganet.org, x11@FreeBSD.org

As described in bug #225125, japanese/font-kappa20 has not been usable
since the latest update of x11-fonts/libXfont (CVE-2017-16611).

Because japanese/font-kappa20 installs font files as symbolic links,
and the latest x11-fonts/libXfont does not handle other than regular
font files.

** Without the patch

 $ pkg info --show-name-only libXfont
 libXfont-1.5.4,2                       # > 1.5.2,2
 $ pkg install ja-font-kappa20

 $ xlsfonts -fn k20m
 k20m
 $ xlsfonts -ll -fn k20m
 xlsfonts:  unable to get info about font "k20m"

 $=20

* How to fix

(1) Install font files to ${FONTSDIR} instead of ${DATADIR}.
(2) Stop to make symbolic links from the font files to=20
    ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/misc/, which is found in the default font path.
(3) Add pkg-message.in to display additional font path settings
    (Copied from head/japanese/k10, r397891 with typo fix).
