Hm, does this cause any trouble with using fonts or does it only generate larger file? Actually XFree86 4.4 behaves same as Xorg 6.8.2 - they both have mkfontdir as shell wrapper for mkfontscale. This was changed however in XFree86 4.5 - mkfontdir as separate executable was reinstated because of problem with generating encodings.dir - cvs log might be of use: http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/mkfontdir/Imakefile So in case this causes trouble, Xorg should probably do the same (there doesn't seem to be any changes in Xorg mkfontdir in CVS). It should be eventually fixed in Xorg tree, but if this is a problem we can of course patch it in ports for the time being. Dejan
