David,

It was brought to my attention that if you run mkfontdir on a
directory with no font files, it will not create an empty fonts.dir
(actually one that contains a single line with "0"), but rather do
nothing.

This might cause problems when all the fonts in lib/X11/fonts/local
are deleted, as the final mkfontdir run will leave fonts.dir as it was 
before the deletion of actuan font files.

Is this an intended behavior?  If so, is there any workaround for it?
(I guess we can make a symlink to ../misc/6x13.pcf.gz (aka "fixed") or
something, but that's just excruciatingly ugly. ;)

Satoshi
