Hi Juliusz, Red Hat will use a updated ttmkfdir in the next release, we updated the ttmkfdir to FreeType2 and also added some other CJK releated features(like TTCap), and it uses system encodings.dir as default to recognize font encodings.
If anyone has interests, please have a look of http://people.redhat.com/yshao, I can also provide any help you need. Another thing is we really see some real needs of TrueType embedded bitmap feature support in mainland China at the moment, don't know if you have any plan to add this to the X freetype backend?
