First mkfontdir/mkfontscale does a better job than ttmkfdir, the MOVED sect= ion state if about the removal of ttmkfdir. Second all fonts ports are automatically running mkfontdir/mkfontscale when needed and running fc-cache so that all application (most of them now) can = find fonts via fontconfig. Xorg server is reading directly fonts from ${LOCALBASE}/share/fonts (before= it was lib/X11/fonts) and find there all the fonts it needs correctly. If anything not automatically works as you do expect please tell me, I'll f= ix.
