Hi,
Ttmkfdir was written by J�rg Pommnitz more or less when the first
version of FreeType was released. It generates fonts.scale files for
TrueType font directories, and has a hardcoded list of encodings to
test against.
Mkfontscale was (and is) written by Juliusz Chroboczek; it takes
advantage of the fact that recent XFree86 releases also ship with (a
later) FreeType, which has a more generalized approach to
encodings. It can, as well as generating fonts.scale files for
TrueType directories, do the same for Type1 directories. It will ship
in future XFree86 releases, so there shouldn't be a need to download
and compile ttmkfdir.
Bye,
- Aidan
