Doesn't 'mkfontscale' replace 'ttmkfdir'? While you're updatin' this
initscript, might you want to update it to use 'mkfontscale'? (In which case,
'mkfontscale &>/dev/null' would suffice; though, to follow the style of the
'mkfontdir' statements, 'mkfontscale . &>/dev/null' will also do [even though
the '.' is redundant with both 'mkfontdir' and 'mkfontscale' commands]).
Okay, I'm done now,
Derek
P.S.: I'm glad to see work in this area. I have all the Adobe Font Folio
fonts on my Linux box, and a specific subset of the Postscript fonts (installed
[or, rather, symlinked] under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1) consistently
disappear when, I think, I 'rpm -Fvh XFree86*'. I haven't really bothered too
hard to trace down what exactly is causing it, because 'mkfontdir
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 && mkfontscale /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1'
fixes it (and then I instantly become unmotivated to bug-hunt).
