Public bug reported:

The /usr/share/defoma/scripts/x-ttcidfont-conf.defoma script fails to
create a fonts.dir file, which means that applications using the old X
font subsystem (like emacs) don't see the truetype fonts installed on
the system.

The invocation of mkfontdir is:

    system('/usr/bin/mkfontdir',
           '-e', '/usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings',
           '-e', '/usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings/large',
           "$PkgDir/dirs/$category");

As /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings does not exist, mkfontdir errors out
without creating the fonts.dir file.  The encodings information seems to
be at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings now.

Updating the paths in the script seems to fix the problem.
