Just to clarify this a bit more, the C++ version of ttmkfdir included in Red Hat Linux is not a part of XFree86 (thank goodness), but is included in our XFree86 packages as it made more sense to include it there than in the freetype package as we have in the past. I've personally never liked this version of ttmkfdir, but the other versions that are floating around have their issues too, so we've kept using this version. We can't wait to switch over officially to Juliusz's mkfontscale in future releases, as it is much cleaner IMHO than any of the various ttmkfdir sources out there. I had even considered using mkfontscale in our development-in-progress however time constraints and other issues precluded it's inclusion. There are some known issues in our ttmkfdir, and Yu Shao has done a great job addressing most of them. Nonetheless, I look forward to burying the C++ ttmkfdir in /dev/null in future releases once mkfontscale is considered stable to replace it. ;o) Many thanks to Juliusz for solving the whole ttmkfdir mess!
