This port adds Big5/GB TTF support to Ghostscript 6. Since GS6
treated TTF as translated CID fonts, users can then use them in
various applications that generate PS documents, like Netscape
or enscript.
The major drawback, compared to Ghostscript+VFlib, is that GS6
doesn't support automated font variations like bold or italic.
The font can only be used as the way it is.

and an omission and gives ESR a chance to do some more serious development
in a new development version.

This version fixes some minor typos and bugs in ttfm.sh and X modules,
and the ghostscript6.ttfm module was also added. The new module is to
be used along with the forthcoming zh-ghostscript6 and zh-enscript. It
can also be used as a CID font manager. Relative info can be found at:

The new GS6 module is written with Japan/Korean in mind, meaning there
are some barebones for identifying/using Japan/Korean TTF/CIDs.
TODO modules:
* Abiword
* ChiTeX
* CID for XFree86-4
* CJK
* cwTeX
* GS5.5/vflib
Do not depend on GNU bison, properly create directories during
installaton in all cases, always install manpages. Do not bump
PORTREVISION as these changes do not warrant upgrade by users using
the current package.

Problem was that XF86-4 forces to make html mans unless
this port has no man pages.
Probably this should be fixed under $X11BASE/lib/X11/config.

- driver is based on Uli Wortmann's HO DJ850 driver
- supports duplex printing
Note from the author: in duplex mode black is not so intensive as
in normal mode. Maybe HP wants to prevent, that you don't see the
black of the other side of the page too much.
If somebody knows HP's algorithm, how to reduce the black, then
author would try to compensate it with some code...
It is about 400Gb in size and has 100Mbps connection to the outside world.
It mirrors most of the common package collections.
FreeBSD users from Russia (as well as all others) are advised to use it.
