F9 chkfontpath replacement?

Hi,

I see that in F9 chkfontpath is gone.  Is there a recommend way to
perform a similar function?

In some font rpms I'm maintaining, putting fonts in some specific
directories, I used to call chkfontpath with a local font dir
in %post.

Thanks,

I got a bug pointing to this while we were preparing for F-8:

I already found out that there were symlinks in /etc/X11/fontpath.d,
but I don't get them (a set of Type1 fonts) working.  That is, I don't
see them in "fc-list" nor in applications like OO.org.

Besides creating the symlink, I did "mkfontdir" and "mkfontscale".

Any suggestions?

XFS, mkfontdir, and mkfontscale are totally unecessary for modern apps
that use fontconfig and fc-list.

If you want to package fonts for use in anything remotely current,
please follow our font packaging guidelines
