You can read the docs that come with gs/gsfonts in /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts /usr/local/share/docs/gsfonts These fonts are REALLY MODIFIED and derived from URW set (in XFree86). I take my chance on gsfonts thinking that the added Cyrillic glyphs must=20 be of interest for russian users. But I can go backwards and teach gs where are de XFree86 type1 fonts=20 installed. (Patch at home and tested against gnu and afpl gs). This must require tweak the font install of gs/gsonts (Not install the=20 type1 fonts in XFree86) and RUN_DEPENDS on=20 x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable. With a tweak of the fonts.* files on x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable=20 (Seems that java really needs Adobe foundries) and closing the=20 fontconfig PR, we can reach the final goal with=20 x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable. I can work this other way upon request in 1~2 days depend on free-time. =2D- josemi
