The FreeBSD UPDATE file mentiones xorg-fonts-truetype related to
XFree86-fontsScalable while XFree86-fontDefaultBitmaps relates to
xorg-fonts-type1. So I think that answers your doubts.

I *know* I'm the one to decide. That's why I want to know the ins/outs,
pro/contra for each of the systems. I want to read more about it, but
don't know were to look.
