The BIZNET ISO 8859-2 (Central European) X Window System Fonts are a set of
ISO 8859-2 (sometimes called also ISO Latin2) X Window System bitmap typefaces
derived from the original ISO 8859-1 typefaces included into the X Window
System, Version 11, Release 6.3 (X11R6.3). The set contains 395 different
typefaces.

shipped with 1.6), however the most recent pango requires 2.0.9 and also uses
this package. As a result you end up with conflicting freetype linkage and
the wrong library version (.8) can get used in further packages which use
pango. Alleviate all of this by requiring >=2.0.9 in here as well
Kochi CID-keyed font is made from `Kochi Mincho' and `Kochi Gothic'
TrueType fonts with the CID/OpenType conversion kit by KANOU Hiroki.
About the CID/OpenType conversion kit (from its WWW page):
This is a trial to convert modification-free TrueType fonts `Kochi
Mincho' and `Kochi Gothic' designed by Yasuyuki Furukawa to CID-keyed
fonts and OpenType fonts which can be used on Ghostscript, FreeType or
other PostScript software/hardware.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.

Pcf2bdf is a font de-compiler. It converts X font from
Portable Compiled Format (PCF) to Bitmap Distribution For-
mat (BDF). It can also accept a compressed/gzipped PCF
file as input, but gzip must be found in your PATH.
FONTBOUNDINGBOX in a BDF file is not used by bdftopcf , so
pcf2bdf generate irresponsible values.
Xft (2.0) provides a client-side font API for X applications. It uses
Fontconfig to select fonts and the X protocol for rendering them. When
available, Xft uses the Render extension to accelerate text drawing.
When Render is not available, Xft uses the core protocol to draw
client-side glyphs. This provides completely compatible support of
client-side fonts for all X servers.
Xft (2.0) hides most of the underlying system details so that developers
can confidently use its API to access client-side fonts in any X
environment.

Fontconfig is a library for configuring and customizing font access.
Fontconfig can:
* discover new fonts when installed automatically, removing a common
source of configuration problems.
* perform font name substitution, so that appropriate alternative fonts
can be selected if fonts are missing.
* identify the set of fonts required to completely cover a set of
languages.
* have GUI configuration tools built as it uses an XML-based
configuration file (though with autodiscovery, we believe this need is
minimized).
* efficiently and quickly find the fonts you need among the set of fonts
you have installed, even if you have installed thousands of fonts,
while minimzing memory usage.
* be used in concert with the X Render Extension and FreeType to
implement high quality, anti-aliased and subpixel rendered text on a
display.
Fontconfig does not:
* render the fonts themselves (this is left to FreeType or other
rendering mechanisms).
* depend on the X Window System in any fashion, so that printer only
applications do not have such dependencies.

Package changes:
Reflect master site move to sourceforge.
Explicitly set PKGNAME because DISTNAME has changed.
Excerpt of the change log:
- Changed the package name from monafonts to monafont.
- Synced with Shinonome-0.9.8.
- Applied 638-san's patch for nicer ascii art appearance.
- ISO-10646 (Unicode) support (only for 16 pixel fonts).
- Glyph adjustments.
A postscript font editor that lets you create your own postscript,
truetype, opentype, cid-keyed and bitmap (bdf) fonts, or edit
existing ones. Also lets you convert one format to another.
extension Makefile fragments, because they really don't have anything to
do with the buildlink[12] frameworks. Change all the Makefiles that use
application.buildlink.mk and extension.buildlink.mk to use application.mk
and extension.mk instead.
* Move t1lib.config.netbsd sample file to t1lib.config.sample, which is more
OS-neutral.
- Bug fixes.
- Fixed kerning mapping code. Kerning did not work correctly for characters
that appeared multiple times in an encoding vector.
- In the same context a new function, T1_GetEncodingIndices() has been added
to the API. It returns an array of indices (by contrast,
T1_GetEncodingIndex() returns only the lowest index found).
- Support for composite characters.
- Additional support for dvips encoding files (thanks to suggestion and
contribution by Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@linpro.no).
- Global Font Metrics Information is loaded from AFM files in order to be able
to read the typographic ascender. Line ruling did not behave as
documented. However, problems could still exist because the typographic
ascender specification is optional in AFMs.
- Reorganized search path handling and, in particular, the respective
documentation is more detailed.
- The configuration file now allows multiple lines of one type of search path
specification and it is also possible to quote path specification in order
to specify paths that contains special characters like spaces, colons, etc.
- Multiple font databases are supported.
- T1_PrintLog() extended to accept a variable argument list.
- The environment variable T1LIB_LOGMODE is evaluated to give the user the
chance to specify a loglevel and hence to detect t1lib-problems even if the
application programmer did not enable the log file features.
- Color problem in t1x11-module fixed.
- Fixes in AFM parser. Among others, Version had been read as name, instead of
as string. This led to a failure to scan global font info for some standard
AFMs.

Rui-Xiang Guo in PR pkg/17829. cyberbase-ttf differs from cyberbit-ttf in
that it does not include the CJK subset.
Bitstream Cyberbit is a TrueType font. It is an international font,
containing characters from many languages. Each character is encoded with its
Unicode value, according to Unicode 2.0 standards.
Cyberbit was developed by Bitstream to provide Unicode Consortium members with
a test font. It is therefore distributed freely to customers that need advanced
multilingual fonts for testing and other non-commercial uses. Customers that
wish to use Cyberbit for other purposes must license the font from Bitstream.
