japanese/font-std, chinese/font-std, and dependency fixups due
to it have been added. These are to install standard fonts used in the Ports Collection. Currently they contain: std.ja_JP/Mincho std.ja_JP/Gothic std.ja_JP/Ryumin-Light std.ja_JP/GothicBBB-Medium std.zh_CN/STHeiti-Regular std.zh_CN/STSong-Light std.zh_CN/MSung-Light std.zh_CN/MHei-Medium under ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/. They are just symlinks to corresponding font files. The symlink names are based on popular PostScript font names. Applications should refer the font files via XLFD or fontconfig first. If they need a direct reference to the font file, please use files in std.*/*. This is because direct reference to a specific font name in an application configuration file makes the maintenance difficult when the font file name is changed, for example.

+ Ports for Japanese fonts have been reorganized in the following way:
+
+ japanese/ipa-ttfonts -> japanese/font-mplus-ipa
+ japanese/ipa-ttfonts -> japanese/font-ipa
+ japanese/kochi-ttfonts -> japanese/font-kochi
+ japanese/mplusfonts -> japanese/font-mplus
+ japanese/sazanami-ttf -> japanese/font-sazanami
+ japanese/shinonome -> japanese/font-shinonome
+ japanese/umefont -> japanese/font-ume
+ japanese/vlgothic -> japanese/font-vlgothic
+
+ While basically these are port name changes for consistency,
+ installation directories are also changed:
+
+ font files -> ${PREFIX}/share/${PORTNAME}/*
+ symlinks -> ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/{TTF,OTF,fontname,...}/*
+ symlinks -> ${PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/{TTF,OTF,misc,fontname,...}/*
+
+ A user-visible one is that the directory name "TrueType" is replaced
+ with "TTF".
+
+ Also, japanese/font-std and chinese/font-std have been added as
+ standard fonts used in the Ports Collection. Currently they
+ contain:
+
+ std.ja_JP/Mincho
+ std.ja_JP/Gothic
+ std.ja_JP/Ryumin-Light
+ std.ja_JP/GothicBBB-Medium
+ std.zh_CN/STHeiti-Regular
+ std.zh_CN/STSong-Light
+ std.zh_CN/MSung-Light
+ std.zh_CN/MHei-Medium
+
+ under ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/. They are just symlinks to
+ corresponding font files. The symlink names are based on popular
+ PostScript font names.
+
+ Applications should refer the font files via XLFD or fontconfig
+ first. If they need a direct reference to the font file, please use
+ files in std.*/*. This is because direct reference to a specific
+ font name in an application configuration file makes the maintenance
