Please check latest IPAfont license. We can use it as default font right now I guess. > VLGothic is free font and ubuntu uses as user interface font. > Fallback to VLGothic may useful for some environment. NO. I do not think so. Ubuntu use VLGothic as default Japanese font since license issue, yes I know that. (JFYI, PC-BSD use it as default Japanese/Chinese font too, because of 1CD size limitation.) But it is lead by Ubuntu *BINARY PACKAGE SITUATION* and their license policy, that is not affected to Ports Collection of FreeBSD. So I believe that IPA font should be used as default Japanese fonts on most situation, at least by Ports Collection.
