Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi; I am studying a port of Ted, a motif based rtf editor. In order to work this program requires .afm descriptions of the available postscript fonts X11 will use. AFAIK, the only application that mentions the use .afm files is hylafax, but there is no hint where these should be, or how they are installed. The ports we have don't agree where this files should go, some are currently in /usr/local/lib/afm, while the others are in /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/afm/. I plan to provide changes in the three affected ports so that they start installing in /usr/local/share/afm. Is there any strong idea unto why I shouldn't do this, and where would be the best place to install them? cheers, Pedro.
