Mel,

The postinstall instructions of x11-fonts/webfonts say:

...
Make sure that the freetype module is loaded.  If it is not, add the following
line to the "Modules" section of xorg.conf or XF86Config:

        Load "freetype"

Add the following line to the "Files" section of xorg.conf or XF86Config:

        FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/"

===>   Registering installation for webfonts-0.30_6

but the module "freetype" does not exist:

(II) LoadModule: "freetype"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module freetype
(II) UnloadModule: "freetype"
(EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0)

and there are posts in Google that this is not needed anymore because it
is now parts of libXfont -- what is true? If so someone should fix the
postinstall messages...
