 And this is the problem. fontconfig/freetype2 is required by other packages
 many graphical applications like qpdfview, which depends on harfbuzz and 
 harfbuzz fails, cause of freetype/fontconfig.
 Also graphical applications, which need gtk2, which depends on 
 pango->cairo, which fails, cause of freetype/fontconfig.
 Also racket depends on pango->cairo.
 
 I don't see the solution to install xorg-modular, cause the option of 
 X11_TYPE=native exists. Some Time ago, I have build graphical apps on 
 netbsd with native xorg, and there were no problems. There must be a 
 solution.
