Thanks for investigating and improving all that!

At http://schwarze.bsd.lv/tmp/urw/ , i've added some new files
built from the latest git including your improvements (as well as
some unrelated ones that Branden committed in the meantime):

http://schwarze.bsd.lv/tmp/urw/git_build/3_build_220622_d55157d3.txt
http://schwarze.bsd.lv/tmp/urw/git_build/3_build_220622_d55157d3_diff.txt

Several warnings have gone away, and several additional font
descriptions appear to be built now (AB, ABI, AI, ...).

http://schwarze.bsd.lv/tmp/urw/ports_build/6_PLIST_diff.txt

I think one issue remains.  When building from git, i do get the U-*
font description files.  But when building from a tarball using the
ports framework, i still don't: only A*, B*, H*, N*, P*; and Z*
descriptions appear now in addition to those i got beforem but no U-*.

Those files below http://schwarze.bsd.lv/tmp/urw/
of which i did not upload new versions did not change.

To make things work without --with-urw-fonts-dir, i need the
additional patch shown below.  Otherwise, ./configure won't
find them, and BuildFoundries comes too late to fix that.
Do you think i should commit and push that additional patch?

It's hardly ideal to have this path written out verbatim at two
independent places: we just experienced how it *will* get out of
sync.  But let's improve one thing at a time.

Paths containing "Resource/Init" or "Resource/Font" don't appear to exist
anywhere on my system.  Paths containing "Resource/Init" don't even
exist anywhere in the OpenBSD ports tree, and "Resource/Font" only
in the following place, but that seems unrelated to me:

  package: p5-PDF-API2-2.043
  pkgpath: textproc/p5-PDF-API2
  content: /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/PDF/API2/Resource/Font

Yours,
