Ok with mkfontscale you can do:

   mkfontscale /usr/share/fonts/dir1/  /usr/share/fonts/dir2

and fonts.scale will be created in both directories.

With ttmkfdir you can do:

  ttmkfdir  -d /usr/share/fonts/dir1  -o /usr/share/fonts/fonts.scale
  ttmkfdir  -d /usr/share/fonts/dir2  -o /usr/share/fonts/test.scale

and fonts.scale is created in the first directory but test.scale is created in 
the second.

If you had not specified the -o, then the output would be written to stdout 
(which is nice for testing to see what will be created).
