The recently imposed "must be logged in" restriction is a response to increased bot traffic on the site. This affects search, commits, and vuxml pages.
Search engines are not blocked. Try using "site:www.freshports.org" and your search terms.
After the ports freeze to fix some stuff, the freeze is over. I have some work to do before FreshPorts can start processing commits again before it can start processing again. I've created an issue for that.

Description:
Offline reading selection tool from the Bopomofo IVS font specification. Paste a Chinese text into the browser page, and every Han character that has more than one Bopomofo reading is highlighted so that the intended reading can be picked; the tool guesses common readings from a bundled phrase database. The result is plain text carrying Ideographic Variation Sequences, which can be pasted into any application that renders it with a Bopomofo IVS font. The bundled dictionary comes from the Ministry of Education Concised Mandarin Dictionary and is shown through the ToneOZ dictionary front end. The page is rendered with x11-fonts/bpmf-zihikai, which is installed as a dependency.

Add chinese/bpmf-vsime: Bopomofo IVS reading selection tool

The tool is a local web page that highlights every Han character with more
than one Bopomofo reading, guesses the common ones from a bundled phrase
database, and produces plain text carrying the matching Ideographic
Variation Sequences.

The upstream distribution bundles a copy of BpmfZihiKaiStd-Regular.ttf for
the page to render with.  Drop it and point the two @font-face rules at the
copy installed by x11-fonts/bpmf-zihikai instead, which is a run dependency.
