Mel,
The postinstall instructions of x11-fonts/webfonts say:
...
Make sure that the freetype module is loaded. If it is not, add the following
line to the "Modules" section of xorg.conf or XF86Config:
Load "freetype"
Add the following line to the "Files" section of xorg.conf or XF86Config:
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/"
===> Registering installation for webfonts-0.30_6
but the module "freetype" does not exist:
(II) LoadModule: "freetype"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module freetype
(II) UnloadModule: "freetype"
(EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0)
and there are posts in Google that this is not needed anymore because it
is now parts of libXfont -- what is true? If so someone should fix the
postinstall messages...
