I understand that. I was confused by the use of ``given'' in your
first statement.
Mkfontscale works that way because I want it to be consistent with
mkfontdir. If you have an extension to that behaviour to suggest, I'm
listening.
One possibility would be a -o flag that only makes sense when no more
than one directory is specified. Would that significantly increase
your happinness?
(You have to consider that hacking command-line parsers significantly
decreases mine, and we have to make sure that the total amount of
happinness in the universe remains at least constant.)
