System: FreeBSD snark.ratmir.ru 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #2: Tue Oct 30 20:55:12 MSK 2001 root@snark.ratmir.ru:/usr/src/sys/compile/SNARK i386

XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System

>Description:

Seems it is a good idea to install the third-party X11 fonts not to 
${X11BASE}/lib/X11/fonts/<SOMETHING> (like ports 'geminifonts' and 'webfonts'
do) or even /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/<SOMETHING> (like do it others), but
to ${X11BASE}/lib/X11/fonts/local/<SOMETHING>

First, it is the question of the style, like configuration files for the
sofware from ports usually are installed to /usr/local/etc, not to /etc;
or like corresponding binaries are located in /usr/local/bin not /usr/bin.

Second, and more important: this will allow to keep track of third-party
fonts collections easely without headache which were installed with XFree86
and which were added later.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install one of those port collection: geminifonts, webfonts, freefonts,
mozilla-fonts, sharefonts, urwfonts.

>Fix:

Fix Makefiles for those ports with changing installation directory to
${X11BASE}/lib/X11/fonts/local/...
