>Description:
Phoenix utilises a file called unix.js to set it's font settings (as
well as many other things). This file as of port version phoenix-0.5_4
has the following lines:

// TrueType
pref("font.FreeType2.enable", false);
pref("font.freetype2.shared-library", "libfreetype.so.6");

The problem is that it points to an older version of freetype2. The
current version which is in ports (freetype2-2.1.3_1) provides the
user with libfreetype.so.9. So if a user cvsup's his ports tree and
proceeeds to build Phoenix and then enable AA fonts, he won't get
them because of this.

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/www/phoenix
make install

>Fix:
A patch for unix.js is needed. Apparently, the Mozilla port already
does patch it's own unix.js to fix this very same problem:

/usr/ports/www/mozilla/files/patch-modules::libpref::src::unix::unix.js
