+VFlib is the Japanese vector font library, supporting TrueType, Zeit,
+JG, and BDF fonts. The Watanabe-vector font(pkgsrc/fonts/watanabe_vfont)
+is used by default for mincho(min) and gothic(goth).
+
+You can use your own fonts by installing them (/usr/share/font is
+recommended) and adding them to ${PREFIX}/lib/VFlib/vfontcap.
+
+See ${PREFIX}/lib/VFlib/doc/man.ps or the website for more details
+(in Japanese).
+
+This port supports the FreeType library. Freetype makes use of hinting
+information in TrueType font files so that clearer output is possible.
+To use Freetype with TrueType fonts, simply modify
+${PREFIX}/lib/VFlib/vfontcap as follows:
+
+ 1. Change `truetype' to `freetype', then
+ 2. Add .ttf or .ttc to the font file path.
+
+For example:
