Following the handbook I installed the ttf from my windows 7 installation.
Since I have done this, firefox (35 from ports) crashes with a segmentation fault immediately on launching the app.
Thinks I have noticed:
Firefox doesn't crash on sites that do not use the windows ttf. However the standard firefox homepage does when accessing arial.ttf (at this moment: http://www.google.co.uk/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official).
I am using the nvidia beta drives, but also tried it with the standard nv driver.
I tried it on both RELENG_8 and HEAD (both AMD64) from yesterday.
Other applications sometimes crash too, like the xfce4 terminal (might be just an unrelated coincidence).
According to some resources, the fault is with the permissions on the ttf and folder, to make sure I chmod -R 755 the directory, but that didn't help.
Other site mentioned that pango might have some troubles and using a script pango-view script to see on which one it crashes, but the script runs without a hitch.
Anything I missed?

). Also it is likely (unless it is something I did wrong), that more users in the future will encounter this problem and I would like to save them some time trying to figure out what when wrong.
