Currently, when you install TrueType fonts,
"<profile>/share/fonts/truetype" directory does not contain "fonts.dir"
file.  This makes impossible to refer to these fonts using a full XLFD
name which is required by some old programs.  This patchset adds a
profile hook to generate this "fonts.dir" file.

[PATCH 1/3] gnu: mkfontdir: Do not propagate 'mkfontscale'.
[PATCH 2/3] profiles: Add fonts-dir-file hook.
[PATCH 3/3] doc: Describe how to make X server find TrueType fonts.
