Description of Problem: The mkfontscale man page refers to the ttmkfdir man page. There is a complete lack of when/why/what/who information available for ttmkfdir. Furthermore, ttmkfdir is not even used consistantly. It is used by the XFree86-truetype-fonts package but not by the openoffice package for its truetype fonts.
There's no compelling reason to create a ttmkfdir manpage at this point, as ttmkfdir has been deprecated, and will be replaced by mkfontscale in the future. Even though mkfontscale might still refer to the ttmkfdir page, if we're not shipping ttmkfdir, we wont be shipping or creating a manpage for it either. If ttmkfdir is not used consistently, please file bug reports against the specific packages that are not using it consistently. The XFree86 packaging is the official Red Hat defacto way of using ttmkfdir, and if any other packages aren't following my standard, they are wrong and broken. I've babysat a few other font packages in the past, but can't keep up with everyone elses packages. They need to take some responsibility and call ttmkfdir properly like it is in XFree86 packaging. That includes openoffice. However, if you report bugs against these packages, please note in the bug report that ttmkfdir is disappearing also. It'll help save me some effort later on. Thanks.
