Hi,

Why doesn't FreeBSD (2.2.5) include gcvt(3), which converts
a floating-point number to a string?

I need this one in order to use YACL (http://www.cs.sc.edu/~sridhar/yacl.html)
on my FreeBSD system.

On a completely different issue; your font documentation states there is
no truetype support for X available.
To use truetype fonts you can use the Freetype library.
ImageMagick 4.0 for instance, has support for the current Freetype library.

Freetype(-current) can be found at: 
   ftp://ftp.physiol.med.tu-muenchen.de/pub/freetype/devel/

A TrueType fontserver for X can be found at:
   ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/X11/fonts/

Enjoy,
