Well I think they should be:
* the fontconfig shipped with NetBSD's X installation is 2.1.0,
whereas fontconfig is now up to 2.3.4;
* there are more tweaking options available with newer fontconfig;
* without this, web-pages specifying `lucida' instead of 'lucida
sans' will get a crummy bitmap.
And I guess PREFER.fontconfig should be set to "pkgsrc" too.
It took me ages to figure it out!
