>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
