I can't reproduce font problems which Aline has (seems because I have some fonts at !/.fonts). But his success (and a patch where font directories were listed) gave me some food too think. And now I'm sure that all we need is to provide at /compat/linux/etc a link to the directory with native FreeBSD configuration of fontconfig. Then only native fc-cache, fonts, font ports, font directories will be used.
