You mean it's not possible to have "*-foo-bar" fonts in two different
directories, with an encodings.dir file telling to use different *.enc

There are still quite a lot of wrongly encoded fonts out there, that
could still be used in XFree86 by providing a tailored *.enc file for them.
(The Hebrew fonts that started this thread are just an exemple of that)
