Hello!

It seems, that the Xorg's mkfontdir will list both *.bdf and *.pcf
versions of the same file in the generated fonts.dir

This is contrary to the manual page and the old behavior.

For example, the x11-fonts/gemini-fonts port creates PCF files from BDF
sources and then runs mkfontdir to create fonts.dir.

With XFree86's mkfontdir the file will begin with the number 68 and list
the PCFs only -- as per the mkfontdir(1).

With Xorg's, the file begins with 136 and each font ends up listed twice:

	[...]
	gem1c.bdf -gemini-courier-medium-r-normal--8-80-75-75-m-50-koi8-u
	gem1c.pcf.gz -gemini-courier-medium-r-normal--8-80-75-75-m-50-koi8-u
	gem1cb.bdf -gemini-courier-bold-r-normal--8-80-75-75-m-50-koi8-u
	gem1cb.pcf.gz -gemini-courier-bold-r-normal--8-80-75-75-m-50-koi8-u
	[...]

Is this something, I should only talk about with the Xorg people?

Thanks! Yours,

	-mi
