I just finished a new install of Xorg using the current instructions in

I have:
(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in

(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in

The instructions we have creates these directories with fonts.alias as the
only file in each one.
These warnings can be fixed by running mkfontdir on the directories.
Perhaps a bit more of an issue is that tty1 gets a ton of warnings when
running twm (with xterm+xclock):
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
twm: warning: font for charset ISO8859-5 is lacking.
twm: warning: font for charset KOI8-R is lacking.
twm: warning: font for charset ISO8859-7 is lacking.
twm: warning: font for charset ISO8859-13 is lacking.
twm: warning: font for charset ISO8859-14 is lacking.
twm: warning: font for charset JISX0208.1983-0 is lacking.
twm: warning: font for charset KSC5601.1987-0 is lacking.
twm: warning: font for charset GB2312.1980-0 is lacking.

twm: warning: font for charset ISO8859-7 is lacking.
twm: warning: font for charset ISO8859-13 is lacking.
and a lot more totaling about 55 lines.
I realize that these warning do not cause a functional problem, but
many users
will be concerned. Perhaps we should put back some the the fonts recently
removed. I haven't tested it yet, but perhaps we need to add:
font-adobe-100dpi-1.0.3.tar.bz2
font-adobe-75dpi-1.0.3.tar.bz2
font-misc-misc-1.1.2.tar.bz2
I think installing dejavu fonts
allowed to remove the warnings.
Forget that: this is not true ! Just a note about the warning: the same
lines (from ... ISO8859-5 ... to ... JISX0201.1976-0...)
are repeated 6 times...
