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.
