I merged them and attached (not tested).  In fact, I thought about 
doing something like this (i.e., converting Fedora font properties to 
BSD-specific file) but I never committed it for few reasons.  For 
example, we do not have default fonts as Linux "distros" do (although 
I agree that FreeBSD specific property file is good to have in the 
ports but not on Mercurial).  Also, I was concerned about package 
dependencies.  Maybe we can add a knob, e.g., WITH_CJK to include 
properties if we just do this in the ports.  Now, more specific 
issues:

# Uses Fedora Core 6 fonts and file paths.

- Yeah, I know. :-(

/usr/share/fonts/dejavu-lgc/DejaVuLGC*.ttf

- Changing default Latin fonts is a POLA violation, I think.
- This is Fedora path and we don't have that in the ports[1].

/usr/share/fonts/japanese/TrueType/sazanami-*.ttf

- The path has to be corrected.  See japanese/sazanami-ttf.

/usr/share/fonts/chinese/TrueType/ukai.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/chinese/TrueType/uming.ttf

- The path has to be corrected.  See chinese/CJKUnifonts.
- We need Chinese Java users to confirm its usefulness.  I am not 
qualified. ;-)

FYI, Fedora has font history here:

[1] We have x11-fonts/dejavu but DejaVu-LGC (a derivative of DejaVu 
fonts) is not ported.  If really needed, we can make a ports for it, 
though.
