To my surprise, there is no x11/dejavu-fonts in CVS. I planned to search the mailing list archives for a port when, by my luck, you posted your port. I put your port at /usr/ports/x11/dejavu-fonts I am new to OpenBSD-current. Now is my very first time to test a new port. This is also my very first email to any OpenBSD mailing list. I feel well to start with a simple port like this one. My understanding is that X11 clients use either of two different ways to find fonts. They use either fontconfig or the traditional font path (xset +fp). I looked at http://openbsd.org/porttest.html and ran targets until I installed the port. The fonts went into /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/dejavu/ and fontconfig found the fonts there. I also wanted to use dejavu as default fonts, so I put the six symlinks in /etc/fonts/conf.d like the install message says. I then restarted X and KDE so that every application would surely notice notice the new fonts and settings. I started Konqueror 3.5.10 and browsed to http://en.wikipedia.org to see the new DejaVu characters instead of only the Bitstream Vera characters. Then I opened KWord 1.6.3, created new document, typed some ASCII, inserted some arrows from Unicode table 33 (which are in DejaVu but not Bitstream Vera), tried all six DejaVu fonts (Sans, Sans Condensed, Sans Light, Sans Mono, Serif, Serif Condensed), and also played with bold, italic and font sizes. I noticed that "bold" has not any effect to some characters in DejaVu Sans Light, but I guess that this is by design. I did not add dejavu to my font path, nor test any non-fontconfig X11 clients, nor any use of fonts without X11. The x11/dejavu-fonts work for me, on this macppc laptop. This -current system is so many days old. My last cvs update to /usr/ports was at 22 January (about six days ago), and the system is running snapshot from 13 January (about two weeks, one day ago). Today is 28 or 29 January. --Kernigh
