Most toolkits have switched to using fontconfig exclusively. As such,
ttf *is* basic. The reported problems are a sign that the version of
fontconfig used by the program doesn't find any fonts. I can't tell from
the reported data whether it is a native or pkgsrc fontconfig, what
fonts are present etc. It might also be a missing fc-cache call. Lots of
options.
