Hi,

i am trying to set up FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE on some old Fujitsu laptop.
Many things already work quite nicely, but ... x11-fonts/urwfonts don't -
neither from packages nor from ports.
As far as I understand the handbook, all I have to do is to install
urwfonts, add their
path to xorg.conf and reboot. I did so, but can't find them in OpenOffice
(I also tried Abiword).

This is my xorg.conf
