I'm not able to find good Indic fonts in the ports. Fedora's Lohit
project has some great fonts for a whole bunch of Indian languages and
many Linux distros provide it in their repos.
Here's a link to Gentoo's ebuild:

PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and

releases in that it focuses more on stability and functionality than on
new features. Not that it doesn't have its share of new and exciting
items. See http://www.gnome.org/start/2.18/ for all the goodies in
this release.
GNOME 2.18 for FreeBSD would not have been possible without the hard work
of the FreeBSD GNOME Team and our intrepid band of testers including
J. W. Ballantine, Pawel Worach, Yasuda Keisuke, Pascal Hofstee, miwi,
Yoshihiro Ota, Vladimir Grebenschikov, Jukka A. Ukkonen,
Phillip Neumann, Franz Klammer, and Neal Delmonico.

amount of work by the FreeBSD GNOME Team and our testers.
On top of the usual GNOME update, we have taken this opportunity to move
GNOME from X11BASE to LOCALBASE. This means roughly 600 ports NOT part of
the GNOME Desktop also need to be changed. The bulk of the move was carried
out by ahze, mezz, and pav, but it would not have been possible without
cooperation from the FreeBSD KDE team who worked with us to make sure
GNOME and KDE can still coexist happily. We would also like to send a
shout out to kris and pointyhat for putting up with multiple test runs
until we got something that was solid.
Back to GNOME 2.16. This release brings a huge amount of new functionality
to FreeBSD. The standard release notes can be read at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/ . But on top of what you will read there,
jylefort and marcus have completed work on a port of HAL to FreeBSD. This
will allow FreeBSD to take advantage of closer hardware interaction such
as auto-mounting CD-ROMs, USB drives, and music players; auto-playing
audio CDs; and managing laptop power consumption.
But where would this all be without our loyal testers and contributors?

This True Type Font has been based on the Old German handwriting as it
was taught in Schleswig and Germany around Year 1900 (Suetterlin). If
you study sources from that time and before, it is important to be
familiar with this writing style. The font is free for personal use.

- Fix a few of pkg-descr by chase the rename.
- Move all PORTREVISION and PORTEPOCH to top with ?=.
- Put USE_X_PREFIX back in, but under REFERENCE_PORT, and remove PREFIX? and
USE_XLIB. This fix ports to use the correct mtree when you change the prefix,
for example:
Incorrect: (Without USE_X_PREFIX)
================================
# cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20
# make -V MTREE_FILE
/etc/mtree/BSD.x11-4.dist
# make PREFIX=/tmp/foo -V MTREE_FILE
/etc/mtree/BSD.local.dist <-- Here...
================================
Correct: (With USE_X_PREFIX)
================================
# cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20
# make -V MTREE_FILE
/etc/mtree/BSD.x11-4.dist
# make PREFIX=/tmp/foo -V MTREE_FILE
/etc/mtree/BSD.x11-4.dist <-- Here...
================================
- Change a several of *-reference ports to install in LOCALBASE instead
X11BASE, but only two gtkmm*-reference couldn't be change at the moment.
Bump the PORTREVISION for change prefix.

Rename this ports to use the real vendor package name. The advantage of this
is to allow our users' keyword search works and easier for users to file the
Bugzilla report when they use our name of ports. Debian, Gentoo, NetBSD and
other OSs have the correct package name, but not in our ports tree.
My team, FreeBSD GNOME Team, have agreed with it.
As for other ports, chase the rename.

fontconfig (or the fonts ports/packages) are supposed to run fc-cache.
I also noticed it has problems with some fonts, so we may end up with a
not complete cache in this version.
This should fix the build on pointyhat (cache files left after pkg_delete).
While I'm here use a link to the native fonts.conf, we don't need our
own here.
- use fixed plists [1]
- category "linux" added to those ports without it [1]
- update some ports to a recent FC3 one [1]
- remove plists/... for Alpha (there's no support since linux_base-8 for
Alpha anymore)
- don't hardcode version numbers in some plists, use PLIST_SUB instead
(any errors are mine, don't keep them, send them to me)
Regarding linux-ungif I declare a maintainer timeout (one month, Boris tried
to contact the maintainer) and also pull the "sweeping commit"-card (the
port which it uses as some kind of master port can not be used for this
anymore). Besides this, I don't think he will be upset when other people
do the work instead of adding an entry to his TODO list. :-)
This commit brings us just before the switch of the default linux base
port to the fc3 one, modulo some bugs which may appear. So:
Beta testers wanted!
To test:
sed -i.old -e 's:linux-XFree86-libs:linux-xorg-libs:' /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
echo OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=fc3 >> /etc/make.conf
portupgrade -f -o emulators/linux_base-fc3 -f linux_base-8
portupgrade -o x11/linux-xorg-libs linux-XFree86-libs
portupgrade linux-\*
The first two steps are necessary to switch to fc3 as the new default linux
base port, the last 3 steps to upgrade to fc3.
And feel free to send a big "Thank you!" to Boris, he did a lot of the work!
I just provided some hints and answered some questions (besides from
committing all the necessary changes for FC3 and doing some minor
changes+comments/improvements to/of his work), even when he tries to tell
you something else. ;-)

We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this
is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at
this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid
perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.
PR.
Thanks for contributing.
Since the acroread7 port is a somewhat important port for our users, I
will hand it over to emulation@ if no _active_ *committer* takes it
before the ports freeze.
While I'm here:
- fix a little nit in the csound port (I think the intention was to
create no backup file instead of creating one with a "-e" extension)
- set ARCH to i386 in the amd64 case for the acroread7 port. This
is a work-around to be able to install everything when a dependency
is not already installed (ARCH is read-only in sub-makes, so the
dependencies can't change it). This should be removed when the
dependencies are fixed or converted to use bsd.linux-rpm.mk. [1]

Koodak, Nazli, Nazli Bold, and Homa. The main advantage over legacy fonts is
compliance with the Unicode, ISIRI 6219, and OpenType standards, and the
addition of required but missing glyphs for Persian information processing. The
fonts are highly recommended if you care for proper Persian display on your
computers.

this port installs encodings, try to remove them upon uninstallation, so
removing of directories has a chance to succeed. Just in case some user
has for some reason put fonts under these directories, be nice and try to
regenerate cache file and remove it again only if it is empty.
On installation try running fc-cache for directory where fonts from this
port are installed and don't complain if fc-cache (from fontconfig) is
missing. Do a bit more dancing on uninstall, just in case users have their
own fonts installed in same directory:
- first remove fonts.cache-1 if it is there since it won't be accurate
after fonts from this port are gone anyway,
- next try to regenerate cache with fc-cache for this directory
- if previous step generates empty cache file, remove it
If directory contained only fonts from this port, it should get properly
removed at the end. If there were other fonts there and fontconfig is
installed, this will leave proper cache file for remaining fonts behind
after uninstall of this port.
