I like my desktop-system up to date and I have not the time to follow
the changelogs of the 1000+ ports I have installed right now to check
if it is necessary to install updates. I expect a useful result from
an update and as long as I don't do a distribution-upgrade (that's
what it called on Ubuntu, don't know the right term for FreeBSD) I do
not really expect an update of ports to break my system. Therefore I
update it regularly (and usually as automatic as possible).
How do you keep track of all the stuff you have installed on your
system (and if an update brings a new feature you would like to have -
not only security stuff)? RSS-feeds for every single project you have
an application from installed?

Problem is already solved (at least it works again) as I wrote three
days ago: I deleted a port (fonts/webfonts I think) and now everything
works again. Don't know why it didn't work after the update but the
deletion of webfonts fixed it for me. All other true-type-fonts (like
some often mentioned unicode-font) are still on the system and working
(but doesn't give the result I want).
