I brought this up before ...

Where should fonts be installed?

I just imported fonts/freefont-ttf. I install the TTF fonts to
${PREFIX}/share/fonts/freefont/.

rainier:/usr/pkgsrc$ fc-list | grep ^Free
rainier:/usr/pkgsrc$

But on another system:

montecristo:~/netbsd$ fc-list | grep ^Free
FreeMono:style=BoldOblique
FreeSans:style=Medium
FreeSerif:style=BoldItalic
FreeMono:style=Oblique
FreeSerif:style=Italic
FreeSans:style=Oblique
FreeSans:style=BoldOblique
FreeMono:style=Medium
FreeSerif:style=Bold
FreeSerif:style=Medium
FreeMono:style=Bold
FreeSans:style=Bold
montecristo:~/netbsd

I could use above in Abiword because of fontconfig:

My fonts.conf has the share/fonts directory.

These fonts can be used without X. Fontconfig can use see them.

I think that fonts should go under ${PREFIX}/share/fonts. This is what 
some other operating systems do.

And fontconfig should default to include ${PREFIX}/share/fonts as a 
directory to look at.

The fonts under pkgsrc/fonts are installed to all different locations. I 
think it should be organized.

Especially since most groff and tex and other fonts can be used fine 
elsewhere (as seen by configuring fontconfig and testing with abiword).

${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo
${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic
${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/encodings
${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/large
${X11ROOT_PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/misc

(The above varies depending on X installed. I think we should allow using 
any for either.)
