vflib is Japanese vector font library.
TrueType, Zeit, JG, BDF fonts are supported.
Watanabe-vector font is used by default for mincho(min) and gothic(goth).
You can use your own font by installing them (/usr/share/font/ is recommended)
and modify /usr/local/lib/VFlib/vfontcap file.

See /usr/local/lib/VFlib/doc/man.ps or web for more details (in Japanese).

Note this port supports FreeType library from 16/Mar/98.  Freetype makes
use of Hinting information in TrueType (i.e.clearer output is possible).
To use Freetype, simply modify /usr/local/lib/VFlib/vfontcap file:

# Before... you may find a entry like:
r-ricoh-ttw-hg-mincho-l-pro|Ricoh TrueTypeWorld HG Mincho L PRO:\
	:ft=truetype:\
	:ff=/usr/local/lib/dp/font/truetype/hgrmlpsj:
# After... then modify as follows:
r-ricoh-ttw-hg-mincho-l-pro|Ricoh TrueTypeWorld HG Mincho L PRO:\
	:ft=freetype:\
	:ff=/usr/local/lib/dp/font/truetype/hgrmlpsj.ttf:
-> Important point: change 1:truetype -> freetype, 2:add .ttf or .ttc
