hi there, i follow ports quite a bit but i can't recall big debates when a category was to be scratched or created...
i know this category system is never going to be perfect, not everything fits into a box, or some things fit into several boxen. i was trying out the dejavu-fonts port sent here to the list and i was--not for the first time--surprised and annoyed that there is no /usr/ports/fonts i can see a kind of logic for putting fonts into x11 but strangely it is one of the last places where i would look for a font. a constant source of frustration whenever i reinstall my system and start looking for e.g. msttcorefonts. some might argue that fonts need a visual system and that's why they are in x11. but there are miriads of tools now that break this premise starting with gd, rrdtools, and so on. fonts have nothing more to do with x11 than say all the audio software written for x11 yet they are still in audio. can someone send please legitimate, rational reasons why creating fonts is a bad idea? thank you. -f -- i plan to live forever or die trying.
