I didn't believe Alexander when he said no one reads the font

someone failed to configure their fonts, I believe him.
Please read this section.

No wonder. I've been there, seen that. But after looking thru first
few items I've decided that this is not interesting, since kbd mouse
and other things were already configured (I kept old configuration).
So I missed the fonts part :)
However, you should have the /usr/share/fonts directory already if you
followed the instructions in the BLFS SVN book. What version are you
using?
I was using the stable BLFS. Installing all of the packages from BLFS
is tedious work, so I usually just install those things that I want
and of course all of the dependencies. So I guess it would be nice to
have the part about creation of /usr/share/fonts as a dependency for
firefox :) BTW where is it done? I couldn't find it.
What do you mean where is it done? This question was already answered
above, by Dan. You configure fonts as described in the X Window System
Components page. The /usr/share/fonts directory itself should be created
by the installation of fontconfig...however, in the X installation
described in stable BLFS, this is a non-issue as /usr/share/fonts isn't
even used.
