Unmarking %config from fonts.dir and fonts.scale will makes
trouble on upgrading since xfs initscript runs
ttmkfdir/mkfontscale and mkfontdir automatically when it
detects the updates on the directory where the fonts
installed.

Probably better keep the real fonts under /usr, which won't
be touched by the hand at all and move fonts.* files under
/var or /etc perhaps.
