That is another possibility I have forgotten to mention. Moreover, these directories contains a ``fonts.dir'' file. I guess that when adding fonts in these directories, this file has to be updated accordingly using mkfontdir(1). > I would not use PORTNAME to create another directory. But I also see > the advantage of doing so. Font ports installing in their own subdirectory ships fonts.dir with the port (see for example /usr/ports/x11-fonts/gentium/files/fonts.dir). The benefit I see is that there is no stale files after removing the port: the fonts.dir file vanishes with the font files and the installation directory. I am looking for a "best practice" that is the less painful for the x11 team.
