Comment(by pguyot@…):

 Replying to [comment:13 dports@…]:
 > So does everything work OK with that patch? If so, that seems like the
 best approach. I'd be in favor of using --with-old-mac-fonts if it would
 work, but it sounds like the problems with that (#15909 etc) were pretty
 bad and I don't see any indication they've been fixed.

 Indeed, this latest patch fixes the problem.
 For the record, issues with Courrier (the weird font in the PDFs) are
 caused by the X11 font files (in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/).
