>Description:
I think this is a regression.
X used to work ok.
Now when I launch X, I get:

X is stared, but only fixed font is available,
which gives lots of errors from lots of programs,
e.g. xterm, xpdf, xfig.
Trying to launch browsers make X segfault. I presume
this is because of the lack of ports, but perhaps
this is a separate issue.

All font files are indeed installed, and
the permissions are correct:

I build packages in poudriere on another box,
and then install on this box. This seemed to work
fine until 2-3 days ago.
I tried deinstalling / reinstalling all ports,
still no luck.
I tried building xorg-server from ports on this
box directly - still no luck.
I've run mkfontscale and mkfontdir on all font
dirs - no luck.
I'm out of guesses, so please help.
