Hi,

I didn't use DFBSD since a while but I think the FreeBSD handbook tips 
apply to you.

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/l10n/

If thing change too much you can probably have a look at this one

https://docs-archive.freebsd.org/doc/10.0-RELEASE/usr/local/share/doc/freebsd/fr_FR.ISO8859-1/articles/fonts/

My two cents,
