There are two font system on X Window System. They are "X11 core font
system" and "Xft". While many newer applications such as GNOME/KDE
applications use Xft, not a few applications still require X11 core
font system.

This is X11 core font system. So if the packager expects that
the fonts are used on X11 core font system, the procedure of
"mkfontdir" and so on are necessary.
