I see. Using cabextract did not occur to me, and I assumed, the *32.exe are the same fonts, but use a different extracting program (more icons and other bloat during extractions time). > What I could merge is the substitution of koi8-ru to koi8-u.

AFAIK, XFree86 only uses koi8-r: mi@misha:X11/fonts/cyrillic (311) grep koi8-r */fonts.dir | wc -l 142 mi@misha:X11/fonts/cyrillic (312) grep koi8-ru */fonts.dir | wc -l 0 Let's ask AChe. Is koi8-ru the same as koi8-u, or is it a yet another standard? The fonts worked for me (I use Ukrainian locale), but there might be some differences I don't notice. Also, there are other applications for fonts (image creation, printing) -- by themselves they don't require X_PREFIX. That's why my version installed under ${LOCALBASE}/share. Strictly speaking, if WITHOUT_X11 is set, the port should not even bother creating fonts.dir -- I was planning to add this later. Also, it seems to me (and Will), that package creation is Ok -- the .ttf files are not modified, so the license is not broken. NO_CDROM is what should stay on...
