Okay, I guess I'll post a RFP, and maybe package it myself if nobody
is interested.

Uh, this is a bigger jump. I don't think you can declare the fonts of no
use if mkcfm is not in main. That I know, only x-ttcidfont-conf has broken,
and I read somewhere (guess I could dig up the link) that mkcfm just
creates an index of the font, and that without such indexes, the loading
of the font it's way slower, but that's all.
Thanks for the report, anyay.
