I have put in some configuration to disable bitmap fonts, when used via
fontconfig at least. Unfortunately the base system and pkgsrc both have
their own copy of fontconfig and their own configuration files...

Without it, a common font like "Times" comes out as a bitmap font.


I put this

    <selectfont>
        <rejectfont>
            <pattern>
                <patelt name="antialias">
                    <bool>false</bool>
                </patelt>
            </pattern>
        </rejectfont>
    </selectfont>

in

/usr/pkg/etc/fontconfig/local.conf

and enabled

/etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf

which I now notice isn't exacly the same.
