According to the porter's handbook [1], "If your port installs fonts for the X Window System, put them in X11BASE/lib/X11/fonts/local.", but when looking at the Makefile of some ports in x11-fonts, they install font files in X11BASE/lib/X11/fonts/${FONTNAME}/ with FONTNAME set to ${PORTNAME}... This makes me think that the statement in the porter's handbook is mainly intended for applications that have to install fonts to work properly. Has-it to be read like so, or do I drop the font files in X11BASE/lib/X11/fonts/local? Another question not covered by the porter's handbook concerns licensing. The fonts I am willing to create ports for are licensed under the Open Font License (OFL). The Gentium font is licensed under this license too and a copy of the licence can be found in the font directory as X11BASE/lib/X11/fonts/gentium/OFL. Other fonts are side by side with their licence file (I mean fontname.xxx & fontname.license in the same directory). Is there a "recommended" method for copying the license file?
