drakfont doesn't seem to check to see whether mkfontdir succeeds. This makes a 
bogus font kill all of my fonts by causing an entry in fonts.scale that had a 
file but no font name, and a different bogus font (I recently added 600 free 
fonts to my system) kill mkttfontdir.

As an aside, I really would like mkfontdir to spit out at least a line number 
for the offending `format error'. If anyone here's dealing with font stuff 
upline, could they please mention this?
