>Description:
        If you're running a -current system with native xorg and you
        add fonts via pkgsrc, they are not seen by applications such
        as firefox.  The directories to be searched are listed in
        /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, which by default specifies
                 <dir>/usr/X11R7/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
                 <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
                 <dir>~/.fonts</dir>
        The second line is clearly wrong, since there is no
        /usr/share/fonts on (standard) NetBSD systems.  However, there
        is another problem: /usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts is not listed,
        and it should be, to catch add-on fonts from pkgsrc.

        I feel that this is the cleanest solution -- NetBSD should support
        pkgsrc properly out of the box.  An intermediate solution is to
        create a default /etc/fonts/local.conf file that lists
        /usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts, with comments indicating that it is (a) an
        example, but (b) necessary to support pkgsrc fonts.
>How-To-Repeat:
        Install -current (or, I assume, 5.0beta), with native xorg.
        Add fonts via pkgsrc.  Watch them not be found...
>Fix:
        The simplest fix is, as noted, to edit /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
        and run 'fc-cache' (possibly with -f; I'm not sure if that's
        needed or not).  Alternatively, create /etc/fonts/local.conf.
