I have a shell alias called
alias pkgrep 'pkg_info | grep $1'
You would "pkgrep font" but that wouldn't pick up bitstream-vera.
My XF86Config file has all of my fonts included. On my system, it is
located at
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config
It has the following non-XFree86 fonts installed
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/"
FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/"
Make sure that libXft was built with the current freetype2. It sounds
like something is out of sequence.
