During Type1 font installation, and also xfs initscript startup, mkfontscale should be used to process the Type1 directories and generate fonts.scale files properly.
In order to do this, a test run needs to be done to compare the results of using mkfontscale generated fonts.scale files for all fonts in the distribution against the fonts.scale files that get provided by the distribution currently. If there are any differences, they need to be reconciled first. It may not be worth it to spend time implementing this at this point. Deferring for consideration for the future.
Words can't describe how much I no longer care about this feature suggestion. ;o)
Hehe, hi Mike :)
