#58388: libwmf @0.2.8.4_8: dependency on obsolete port mkfontdir - build failure
----------------------------+--------------------------
 Reporter:  majoc-at-astro  |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect          |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal          |  Milestone:
Component:  ports           |    Version:  2.5.4
 Keywords:                  |       Port:  libwmf gimp2
----------------------------+--------------------------
 From the logfile for gimp2:

 {{{
 --->  Configuring mkfontdir
 Error: mkfontdir has been replaced by mkfontscale; please install that
 instead.
 Error: Failed to configure mkfontdir: obsolete port
 }}}

 I enclose the obvious patch file to remove the dependency of libwmf on
 mkfontdir.  This fix has been working in production for some weeks.

 Please see also ticket:58187.  This is a sneaky one: a bin:-style
 dependency on mkfontdir doesn't always throw an error (and may require a
 grep of the Portfiles to track down), and I presume there are Reasons for
 not using a port:-style dependency instead.

 Thanks in advance, and apologies for not having submitted this as a pull
 request, esp as libwmf is a nomaintainer port.
