I installed korean font from FreeBSD on my NetBSD machine. I used the FreeBSD
package folder. I made a new pkgsrc directory: "/usr/pkgsrc/korean/" and then
put the johobofonts/ directory and all it's contents from the FreeBSD package
system in there.
Then I used the FreeBSD makefile that came with that package. I had to modify
the Makefile a little. I changed the last line to:
.include "../../mk/bsd.pkg.mk"
from:
.include <bsd.port.mk>
And then I just did: "make ; make install" There may have been a few other
problems (can't remember exactly) , but eventually it worked.
You know, you may also need an "IM" input method for those crillic fonts.
Good luck,
Guy
