I think what Richard says is just that the fonts.dir, fonts.list and
fonts.scale files
were removed and they need to be there to describe to X11 what fonts
are installed in that directory. Basically the question is if you can't add
those files to that directory, how can the Xserver use them ?

Sorry about the misunderstanding but they do exist on my system 10.11

clean install. The modification dates is August 2015, so they post
Yosemite.. I can’t install mac ports to install stuff right now to test.

There is a reason all users only have Read Only Access to
/System/Library/Fonts: You are not supposed to add stuff there.
Generally doing anything in /System is a bad. /Library/Fonts is
where fonts needed by all users should go. If you are admin, you
don’t even need to give your password to add fonts to /Library/Fonts.
The cited fonts were provided by Apple as part of the base system on
earlier OS versions. This is not a question of Apple removing
user-added fonts.
