- Description:
- Fontconfig does the following:
* discover new fonts when installed automatically, removing a common source
of configuration problems.
* perform font name substitution, so that appropriate alternative fonts can
be selected if fonts are missing.
* identify the set of fonts required to completely cover a set of languages.
* have GUI configuration tools built as it uses an XML-based configuration
file (though with autodiscovery, we believe this need is minimized).
* efficiently and quickly find the fonts you need among the set of fonts
you have installed, even if you have installed thousands of fonts, while
minimzing memory usage.
* be used in concert with the X Render Extension and FreeType to implement
high quality, anti-aliased and subpixel rendered text on a display.

Add the Firefly font patchset. This patchset is mainly used to make
CJK TrueType fonts look prettier. Various enhancements like bold, italic,
readability, and embedded bitmap font help a CJK X desktop a great deal.
To enable this patchset, define WITH_CJK while building these ports (pango,
fontconfig, libXft, and freetype2).

Whoa there, boy, that's a mighty big commit y'all have there...
Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed. |

Fix a bug in fontconfig's configure script that was causing fonts.conf
to not include /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts if XFree86 was not installed.
This was in turn leading to crashes in things such as xclock. This bug
has been filed with fontconfig's Bugzilla as bug #45.

Force ldconfig to run before pkg-install to fix a problem where the user
may have booted the machine without having /usr/X11R6/lib. Thus ldconfig
never cached it. This should fix the sprious Error 1 failures when
running post-install.
