Recently I was writing a document with a strong requirements to the formatting. These requirements included the next one: all the text must be written in Russian using the old good Courier New font.
As usual it did not become a problem on my FreeBSD box. The only two things you need to do are...
1. Install the webfonts package:
2. Read the message from the port installation. This message describes that you need to accept the EULA and, then, setup loading the freetype module (the "Module" section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and add the new FontPath line into the "Files" section. Just read the message and do what it wants. Just note, that there is a typo in the message: you should add the ' Load "freetype" ' line to the "Module" section, NOT "Modules" (wrong section name).
After doing these actions and rebooting my machine, I am able to use Courier New font with Cyrillic letters as I did it in WINDOWS. Easy!
