Ah. I missed the Subject line. You mean that
*xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi* requires "mkfontdir".

# rpmquery --scripts xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi | grep mkfontdir
mkfontdir /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi
mkfontdir /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi

So now I seen the reference, but
# rpmquery -f `type -a -p mkfontdir`
xorg-x11-font-utils-7.1-2.x86_64
xorg-x11-font-utils-7.1-2.x86_64

I can't even remove the font to try reinstalling it:
# rpm -e xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi
error: Failed dependencies:
xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi is needed by (installed)
emacs-21.4-20.el5.x86_64
