X is not needed.
In fact, over a year ago I modified this package to remove unnecessary
license and restrictions and changes it to install to
${PREFIX}/share/fonts/TTF.
I never committed. I wanted to make it so fonts go to a common location
like ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/ because X is not needed. Does anyone care if I
make this happen with this package?
(I have other font packages that I modified too.)
The USE_X11BASE should not be needed for ms-ttf.
