>Description:
	grphics/xpdf port requires print/gsfonts.
	PDF files are allowed to use the Base-14 fonts (Times, Helvetica, 
	and Courier, in regular, bold, and bold-italic; Symbol; and Zapf 
	Dingbats) without embedding them. In order to xpdf able to use 
	t1lib to render these fonts, there is a need to install these fonts
	from print/gsfonts.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try running xpdf without print/gsfonts installed on a PDF that
	does not have these fonts embedded. You will see empty screens...
	
>Fix:
Add this to Makefile:
RUN_DEPENDS=    ${LOCALBASE}/share/ghostscript/fonts/a010013l.pfb:${PORTSDIR}/print/gsfonts
