Comment (by mojca):

 I included just the fonts from one website. The other package (GeneralUser
 GS) with the dropbox font is still to be written and I would prefer to
 make a separate port rather than a subport. I was hoping to get your
 feedback, publish this font and then do the other one. (And once we have
 both, continue with TiMidity.)

 No, I didn't patch TiMidity. I forgot what I did, it's pretty long since I
 touched the ports, but I think I made symlinks and later realized that
 sourcing files is the way to go (without testing). And when including
 files I guess that one can use full path anyway. I only mentioned `/etc`
 because I saw it in Debian. We can put the files anywhere, but I would
 prefer to be consistent between different packages (this one, GeneralUser
 GS, freepats, ...). Suggestions welcome. (I basically forgot most of the
 stuff, but if one font needs the other, we could make a runtime
 dependency.)

 So please let me know if you are OK with the approach of two separate
 ports (different authors, different names, different sources, ...) and
 whether you have any other suggestions about this particular package.
