thanks i alredy found it. It's /usr/sbin/ttfmkdir but this
doesn't work very well. It didn't create a font.dir because
it didn't like some of the fonts. Also if i try to shut
down the font server and restart it to recognise my new
fonts it tells me conection refused by xserver. The only
way is to reboot.
