To install them just go to your port collection and type: # cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts -- This cannot be the installation path. Shouldn't it be /usr/ports/x11-fonts/webfonts -- # make install clean After that go to your XF86Config file and add this line to the "Files" section: FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/" -- Yes, it is the final font path. Your effort helps real beginners to get things right the easy way.
