I think what Richard says is just that the fonts.dir, fonts.list and fonts.scale files
were removed and they need to be there to describe to X11 what fonts
are installed in that directory. Basically the question is if you can't add
those files to that directory, how can the Xserver use them ?

Sorry about the misunderstanding but they do exist on my system 10.11 and are available to apps. Something went wrong; the fonts are in my clean install. The modification dates is August 2015, so they post Yosemite.. I can’t install mac ports to install stuff right now to test.

    There is a reason all users only have Read Only Access to
    /System/Library/Fonts: You are not supposed to add stuff there.
    Generally doing anything in /System is a bad. /Library/Fonts is
    where fonts needed by all users should go. If you are admin, you
    don’t even need to give your password to add fonts to /Library/Fonts.


The cited fonts were provided by Apple as part of the base system on earlier OS versions. This is not a question of Apple removing user-added fonts.
