Orphaned pkg i.e. no maintainer.

IMO, this should definitely at least be an optdepend, if not a full depend. If `DISPLAY` is non-empty, then the default aalib driver is the X11 driver (which driver is used can be overridden by the application, by the `AAOPTS` env var, or on the CLI if the application passes argc and argv to `aa_parseoptions()`); and the X11 driver requires the "8x13bold" font (/usr/share/fonts/misc/8x13B.pcf.gz) unless told to use a different font with the `AAFont` env var.
