I've been having graphical browsers display squares
with hex characters in them rather than characters in
Chinese etc. alphabets...what do I have to do to have
all the characters available to display?...is it a browser
or OS deficiency?

at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

organized in packages like xfonts-*.

You need to install additional fonts to cover all characters.

Personally, I just install noto-2.0 (from x11-fonts/noto) because
it has near universal coverage, but there are numerous other fonts
in the FreeBSD port collection that provide some character ranges,
such as Chinese, if you're picky.

I see you grepped for lower case "font".

Those are mostly legacy bitmapped fonts that aren't really used by
applications written in this century. Most likely you also have
dejavu installed, which then serves as the default TrueType font,
but only covers European languages in the Latin and related alphabets.
Anyway, Noto will cover the rest.
