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.
