Text color cannot be changed. This is NOT related to "Edit > Track Changes" option being enabled/disabled, like some similar reports in the past. 
However, current port version is 6.4.4. I'll try this one now.
Comment 1 bergerkos 2020-06-13 11:55:41 UTC 
Only text color cannot be changed (both GTK2 and GTK3 versions). Background color or highlight color both work fine. This is in writer. In Calc the color DOES change while you type, but once focus moves over to another cell, what you've just typed in turns black.

Besides, in GTK3 version no drop-down menus for styles and fonts choices. Also scroll-bars disappeared. Is all this somehow related to GTK3 compile options? Because in 6.4.4 GTK2 is not an option anymore.

(In reply to bergerkos from comment #1)

This issues was mentioned in commitlog

gtk2 is removed upstream
gtk3 is unstable yet
qt5 is default vcl now 

please 'make options' and and rebuild
Comment 3 bergerkos 2020-06-22 08:22:25 UTC 
Ok, it works now, the interface is all right. But there are other troubles. Don't know if this is related to Qt5 or something else.

PDF exporting is broken now. Resulting PDFs are completely unreadable (funny symbols insted of English words etc.)

version 6.4.4
Here is my configuration:
        CUPS           : on
	DOCS           : on
	GNOME          : off
	GTK3           : off
	JAVA           : off
	KF5            : off
	MMEDIA         : on
	PGSQL          : off
	QT5            : on
	SDK            : off
	TEST           : off
	WEBDAV         : on
Comment 4 bergerkos 2020-06-22 09:41:31 UTC 
I confirm that this inability to export PDF correctly is linked to this Qt5-based version. Prior to that, when I struggled against gtk3-based interface, PDF exporting worked all right.

I double-checked this on a fresh installation using pre-built official packages (6.4.4.2 now). 
XPDF, when launched from terminal, upon trying to display the exported PDF complains like this:
Syntax Error (2278): No font in show
Syntax Error: Unknown font tag 'F1'
Syntax Error (2301): No font in show/space
Syntax Error: Unknown font tag 'F2'
Syntax Error (2309): No font in show
Syntax Error: Unknown font tag 'F1'
Syntax Error (2400): No font in show/space
Syntax Error: Unknown font tag 'F2'
...

Print to PDF gives the same results

For pdf exporting, please try patch at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=247444#c27
