Is there anything I can do about it? The linux fontconfig and freetype libraries we use are older than =20 those we use in FreeBSD native. So any differences between our native =20 libs and the linux libs are set in stone... more or less. If you find =20 newer libs which work with FC4 feel free to send patches (or at least =20 pointers). Any differences in the build-time configuration of the libs (e.g., =20 bytecode interpreter in freetype) are also not something we can change. Apart from this we try to use the FreeBSD native font configuration =20 files, so if you find some which aren't reused (either by using a =20 symlink or by "fall-through" to native ones), please tell us about it.
