Yes, but the individual font packages do allow the override --with-fontrootdir.

I decided on the do-over. Like glibc, it seems too important to have defects
in the install. I tried recompiling, but the x-server locked up the system.

Looking at configure, it would use the --with-fontdir=FONTDIR as the basedir for
TTF, OTF, et. al., so that seems redundant.
I will try
# font-util configure
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--localstatedir=/var \
--with-fontrootdir=/usr/share/fonts
# xorg-server configure
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--localstatedir=/var \
--with-module-dir=/usr/lib/X11/modules \
--with-xkb-output=/var/lib/xkb \
--enable-install-setuid \
--with-fontdir=/usr/share/fonts
Then, theoretically, I won't need the X11-TTF link.
I'm only keeping the --with-module-dir=/usr/lib/X11/modules
because the book says so. Eliminating it would use the slightly uglier
/usr/lib/xorg/modules.
If all goes according to plan, it should work fine,
and fonts should not be so confusing.
