	at this moment pkgsrc/fonts is organized based on national character
	set names, like "jisx0208fonts".  concern was raised on japanese
	pkgsrc mailing list, that we should have separate directories
	for each of the fonts to let people install fonts independently.
	(like "shinonome", which is inside jisx0208fonts)

	however, we need to do it carefully-otherwise we won't be able to
	manage large number of fonts.

	how about <countrycode>-<fontname> ?  for example, as follows:
		pkgsrc/fonts/ja-shinonome
		pkgsrc/fonts/ko-baekmuk
	we can have meta font directories if we want to, like:
		pkgsrc/fonts/ja-jisx0208fonts
	which has dependency to other ja-<fontname> fonts.  how do you think?
