Ah, i realize what's your problem: you haven't installed all the fonts
that come with the distribution (some large fonts have been broken
out).

So yes, this is a reason where the installation script should always
finally run a `mkfontdir' there.  Jordan?

(The distribution itself cannot fix this, since it is not known
beforehand which font packages the user is going to install.)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
