If those fonts.dir/fonts.scale/fonts.alias are really needed, they
should be generated automatically.  Unfortunately in order to do
that, mkfontdir/ttmkfdir, etc. need to do a better job.  For example,
I have to add new encodings (GB2312, BIG5, etc.) after mkfontdir/ttmkfdir.

Ideally, only two configuration files are needed by end user:

1.  A file listing font directories;
2.  A file listing aliases.

Anything else should be application specific.
