To load the kernel module immediately, type the following command:
kldload biosfont
To load the kernel module at boot, add the following line to /boot/loader.conf:
biosfont_load="YES"
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Update misc/biosfont-demos and sysutils/biosfont to version 1.3
The ports are now directly sourced from github instead of LOCAL.
The showdati program now works again on FreeBSD (tested on an
Asus ROG GL553VW in CSM mode, UEFI mode return blank characters).
SSP support has been added to ports with WITH_SSP for i386 and amd64
on FreeBSD 10, and amd64 on earlier versions.
SSP_UNSAFE is added to disable in a port if it fails to build, but
this should only be used in rare circumstances such as kernel modules.
Otherwise, the port may just be failing due to lack of respecting
LDFLAGS.
On FreeBSD 10, this uses an ldscript in /usr/lib/libc.so to pull in
libssp_nonshared.a to address issues linking on i386 [1].
On earlier FreeBSD versions the WITH_SSP knob will add -lssp_nonshared
to LDFLAGS on i386. This is not needed on amd64. However, several hundred
ports do not currently respect LDFLAGS, so this support is disabled currently
as it causes build failures if a dependency is looking for the stack_chk

- Update to 1.2.1 to include the clang fix and proper licensing.
- Override KMODDIR in Makefile, otherwise it installs the kernel
module in /boot/kernel instead of /boot/modules [1]
Discussed with: kwm [1]
Feature safe: yes
- re-order, include bsd.port.pre.mk so SRC_BASE is defined before referenced
