Some people get very upset if you forward a privately sent email
to a mailing list. I respect such an opinion and send private
answers to those sending me a question in private email. At the
same time, I keep urging them to followup to the email list and
tell them that they are welcome to quote my text.

Some comments below. I think your teTeX setup looks a bit strange.
The file where all these settings are done for teTeX can be found using
kpsewhich texmf.cnf. Do you know what teTeX version you have installed?
Can you find out what changes have been introduced in the FreeBSD
package compared to standard teTeX (and why)?

I don't recommend to start playing around with the texmf.cnf file if you
don't know exactly what you are doing. Rather, I would start with a
fresh copy of the file from the standard teTeX source code distribution
which can be found at any mirror of www.ctan.org. Make sure to find a
copy corresponding to your installed version.

This looks strange! In both teTeX 1.07 and teTeX 2.02, the variable is
set to
.:{$TEXMF/fonts,$VARTEXFONTS}/pk/{$MAKETEX_MODE,modeless}//

This also looks strange! First of all the same path is duplicated,
secondly if you had several paths they shouldnt be separated by a space.
