texi2html won't build

	Trying to build texi2html on a clean MacPorts install leads to the following:

<<<normal build, then: >>>

	First off, what's with all the "User 503" stuff?  True, I don't have one, so why is it popping up?  A search finds that a whole bunch of stuff in the MacPorts directory is owned by "User 503".  I didn't change the owner; there's never been a "User 503" on this system that I know of (my own UID is 504).

	The real problem appears to be a font naming problem though.  This is another "nomaintainer", so here it is.
