ttmkfdir can ignore a font for two reasons:
- it is bugged and the freetype lib can't handle it (that doesn't seem
to be your case)
- it uses an encoding not yet supported (ttmkfdir recognizes microsoft-symbol
and all the encodings used by Linux locales); or there are too missing
glyphs for a given encoding (that can be the case if you have ascii-only
fonts). You can use -m and/or -c flags of ttmkfdir to see if that improves
something.

The version of ttmkdir in Linux Mandrake is mantained by me (well; it doesn't
really evolves; I just add recognition of new charset encodings when needed)
I'll see if it isn't possible to have the creation of a *-ascii-0 line
when *-iso8859-1 has too missing chars.
