I've found this problem on one system (the one where I thought the
upgrade had gone the most cleanly). font-alias _is_ installed but
most of my pcf.gz files are corrupt (20 bytes long).

'portupgrade -f' on my fonts is fixing this but I'm not exactly sure
why it occurred to start with.

bdftopcf fails if it uses the old library from X11R6. The 20 bytes are
the compressed empty output of the failing bdftopcf.

Sounds like it is being upgraded out of order, we need a full log to
figure out why.
