I retract that! After posting I remembered that I didn't use the port
per se, I grabbed the shar in PR 17301 and used that. I put it in
/usr/ports/www coz that's where netscape lives.

sorry for the confusion :(

Jim,

If you don't have the port in x11-fonts, then either synch your ports
tree using cvsup or grab the shar from
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=17301 but extract it to
x11-fonts :)

One other suggestion that was put forward was to re-arrange the font
order in /etc/XF86Config. You should find a section near the top
something like:

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (which are concatenated together),
# as well as specifying multiple comma-separated entries in one FontPath
# command (or a combination of both methods)
#
# If you don't have a floating point coprocessor and emacs, Mosaic or other
# programs take long to start up, try moving the Type1 and Speedo directory
# to the end of this list (or comment them out).
#

#    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mozilla/:unscaled"

Try moving the 100dpi entries above the 75dpi ones (you will need to
re-start X for it to take effect IIRC).
