First mkfontdir/mkfontscale does a better job than ttmkfdir, the MOVED section
state if about the removal of ttmkfdir.
Second all fonts ports are automatically running mkfontdir/mkfontscale when
needed and running fc-cache so that all application (most of them now) can find
fonts via fontconfig.
Xorg server is reading directly fonts from ${LOCALBASE}/share/fonts (before it
was lib/X11/fonts) and find there all the fonts it needs correctly.
If anything not automatically works as you do expect please tell me, I'll fix.
Best regards,
Bapt
