I don't think we want to add x11 options to all ttf packages, so
we should discuss what alternate solutions there are.

dejavu-ttf is probably special, in that rrdtool depends on it, which you might want to run on a sans-X web server.

This very use-case (xymon depending on rrdtool depending on dejavu-ttf depending on X11) has actually been discussed here before: <http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2011/10/17/msg007803.html> ff. Except back then, the use of mkfontdir did not yet trigger an X11 dependency.

Cheerio,
Hauke
