Hi guys;

I noticed the fonts were unbundled in the LibreOffice port and dependencies
were added instead. I had thought of doing something similar for OpenOffice
but I have doubts about the fonts installed through ports: are we sure all
the font packages run fontconfig or are users expected to manually add
the path for the fonts in XOrg configure file? (just wondering, I recall all
font ports tend to handle that differently).

While here, I noticed an issue: the linuxlibertine fonts we carry are 
outdated
(I know, I updated it) but furthermore, LibreOffice bundles a specific 
version
of the linuxlibertine fonts that are made to work with libgraphite:

http://numbertext.org/linux/

I have no idea if such fonts work well with other applications.

best regards,

Pedro.
