I am comparing it with vanilla and patched. The patched version shows more
errors.

Great, I will let experimental build to take care of pkg-plist complains
then.
Off point: Do anyone know any good tricks & hints for tweak font? In my
system, the fonts look blurry (too antialias) in linux-opera and
linux-realplayer. Maybe, I will need to tweak with one of hintfull,
hintmedium or hintslight to see if it will help.
Thanks for your work!
