Maybe I'm doing things wrong here, but without the fonts.dir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont is not recognized with xset fp+ DIR or when mentioned in /etc/X11/XF86Config. FIX for install process:<br/> cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont<br/> mkfontscale<br/> mkfontdir<br/>
-r2 is in, added fonts.{dir,scale} creation when X in use. Mind it, i moved them from /usr/X11R6/blah to /usr/share/fonts .
