>Description:
	request to remove fonts/mkttfdir - the game is over...
>How-To-Repeat:
	I must admit, mkttfdir is a poor tool but it has been in pkgsrc
	so long, sorry. It is pretty bad for dealing with TTF of large volume
	in the directory - spent too much time for processing.
	Here are some data for comparing:
rxgpc[/home/rxg/collect/ttf/ms-ttf]% ls
ARIAL.ttf*      Arialni.ttf*    COURBI.ttf*     SYMBOL.ttf*     VERDANAB.ttf*
ARIALBD.ttf*    Bookos.ttf*     COURI.ttf*      TAHOMA.ttf*     VERDANAI.ttf*
ARIALBI.ttf*    Bookosbi.ttf*   Gara.ttf*       TAHOMABD.ttf*   VERDANAZ.ttf*
ARIALI.ttf*     Bookosi.ttf*    Garabd.ttf*     TIMES.ttf*      WEBDINGS.ttf*
ARIBLK.ttf*     COMIC.ttf*      Garait.ttf*     TIMESBD.ttf*    WINGDING.ttf*

	Now, I (the maintainer) request to remove it from our pkgsrc and
	let's enjoy with mkfontscale and mkfontalias.
	BTW, another pkg fonts/arphicttf also need to be tweaked when mkttfdir
	be removed. I think it is the time to change this pkg's name. :)
	I suggest to remove fonts/arphicttf then import another pkg:
	fonts/arphic-ttf. Please fetch from:
	    http://cgi.educities.edu.tw/rxghome/netbsd/pkg/arphic-ttf.tar.gz
	Hope we could adopt this style: <fontname>-ttf-<version> as the
	pkg's name of TrueType fonts in future.
	Then if we want to convert the TrueType fonts into other formats, like
	Type1, we could create another pkg: <fontname>-type1-<version>.
