 I tried to try that, but now I am running into the problem Mayuresh
 mentioned on pkgsrc-users in the message of 2018-05-06 17:40:09 +0530
 "Confusing versioning scheme of freetype2?"
 
 Making blackbox70 with the extra bl3 file required installing fontconfig (no
 surprise...) which demanded a freetype2 upgrade (which after deleting and
 then reinstalling half of what I had installed - it seemed - went fine) but 
 then:
 
 checking if gcc supports -Werror=attributes... yes
 Package xorg-macros was not found in the pkg-config search path.
 Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xorg-macros.pc'
 to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
 Package 'xorg-macros', required by 'virtual:world', not found
 checking whether make supports nested variables... (cached) yes
 checking for XRENDER... yes
 checking for FREETYPE... yes
 checking for FONTCONFIG... configure: error: Package requirements (fontconfig >= 2.5.92) were not met:
 
 Package dependency requirement 'freetype2 >= 21.0.15' could not be satisfied.
 Package 'freetype2' has version '18.0.13', required version is '>= 21.0.15'
 
 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
 installed software in a non-standard prefix.
 
 Alternatively, you may set the environment variables FONTCONFIG_CFLAGS
 and FONTCONFIG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
 See the pkg-config man page for more details.
 
 *** Error code 1
 
 jinx$ pkg_info freetype2
 Information for freetype2-2.9.1:
 
 Comment:
 Font rendering engine and library API
 
 Required by:
 fontconfig-2.13.0
 
 (and the normal blather following)/
 
 But I assume that blackbox70 is still using the freetype2 that is in /usr/X11R7
 
 After that, I removed the
 
 # PREFER_PKGSRC+=fontconfig
 
 (that is, I inderted the comment-out you see there) and tried again.
 That made no difference at all (just as above) so I also tried removing
 the new .include from bb70's Makefile that was added.
 
 The returned things to their earlier state, where:
 
 /usr/obj/pkg/wm/blackbox70/work.jinx/.buildlink/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:39:22: fatal error: ft2build.h: No such file or directory
 
 kre
 
 ps: all builds were done after removing the /usr/obj/pkg/wm/blackbox70/
 tree, of course (each time).
