DJ,
Since you have a lot of experience here, maybe you could run a test
build of Xorg-7 with the fonts in /usr/share/X11/fonts. I won't get
there until the weekend probably.
As far as I know, what needs to be done is:
* --libdir=/usr/share for all the font packages. This resolves as
fontdir=${libdir}/X11/fonts/misc (or whichever package you're on)
* --fontdir=/usr/share/X11/fonts for xorg-server
* symlinks to OTF and TTF in /usr/share/fonts
For Xorg-6 and XFree86, just #define FontDir /usr/share/X11/fonts +
symlinks. Xorg-7 is what I really care about, though.
