I'm no XFree86 release building expert, but i think the problem is that the fonts are `make install'ed first, but only split later on into several tarballs. Since the directory has been populated with all fonts before, you'd go through more hassles if you wanna reduce the fonts.dir. Running mkfontdir afterwards seems simpler. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
