I don't know that it is any different.  I also wanted to upgrade to XFree
3.3.3 but that was broken to...until I clued in and installed the ports
upgrade package. I am sure that when I check out some CVS logs, there
was a fix in there for the broken elf thing, all one has to do is add
the package 227upgrade.tgz. Last time I tried one of the font servers, I
wish I could remember which one, I wound up with *huge* memory usage.  I
am hoping this one will be better.
