Don't run the linux fc-cache program! I assume it will mess up the  
contents of the cache file for the FreeBSD fontconfig.

Boris, your patch looks good in principle, but I prefer to create the  
fonts.conf on the fly (REINPLACE s:/usr/X11R6:${X11BASE}:g) instead of  
hardcoding it (except portmgr/pav tells us that X11BASE goes away,  
then it should be LOCALBASE). See  
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/110632 for more (as  
we got the info that the new fontconfig is not compatible, and as I  
didn't found a matching fontconfig version back then, we have to go  
the way as proposed in the PR). Maybe we should also not install (=  
remove) the linux fc-cache program.

Pav, do we (or better: has bsam) portmgr approval to fix linux-fontconfig?

I don't know which issue linux-opera has. Are there error messages?  
Are all fonts installed (I think I did read something that this  
changed with the modular packaging)?

Bye,
Alexander.
