>Description:

Installing any font from pkgsrc will use pkgsrc/mk/fonts.mk, which will
depend on pkgsrc/fonts/ttmkfdir. This will require the old (1.3.x)
freetype-lib.

This means we are now up to three (!) versions of freetype, one completely
outdated - me personally I still strongly believe that even the second
version (freetype2 from pkgsrc while there is freetype2 in XFree 4.4 already)
is a big mistake.

>How-To-Repeat:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/fonts/ms-ttf && make install
Watch old stuff getting installed

>Fix:
Fix ttmkfdir to work with freetype2?
