So any objections if I remove the CONFIGURE_ARGS from fonts/encodings?
I presume that would warrant a bump of PKGREVISION?

I've already done both on Nov 7.

However, since then, vncserver from tightvnc doesn't start for me.
Couldn't start Xvnc; trying default font path.
Please set correct fontPath in the vncserver script.
Couldn't start Xvnc process.

even though I've set
    $fontPath = 
"/usr/pkg/share/fonts/X11/misc/,/usr/pkg/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/,/usr/pkg/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,/usr/pkg/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic/";
in .vnc/tightvncserver.conf. No clue why this doesn't work any longer;
the encodings change is the only commit that looks relevant in the
timeframe.

(I still have a parallel /usr/X11R7 with fonts, but those aren't used
either, it seems).

If it's anything like net/vnc, /usr/X11R6 appears to be hardwired in. Does tightvncserver support the -fp option to set the font path? I also had to point to the colour db with the -co flag.
