It'd be nice to move all of the fonts stuff to font.eclass.  Right now we
have two similar-but-not-quite font systems that tend to do the same thing
but drift apart sometimes in incompatible ways.

But I know I don't have time to do it and it seems to work well enough right now, so
meh. ;)

Hmm, I don't see it in x-modular.  It shouldn't be required for non-fonts
unless something in git needs it for some wacky reason.


  remove_font_metadata() {
	  if [[ ${FONT_DIR} != Speedo && ${FONT_DIR} != CID ]]; then
		  einfo "Removing font metadata"
		  rm -rf "${ED}"/usr/share/fonts/${FONT_DIR}/fonts.{scale,dir,cache-1}
	  fi
  }

Sorry, I forgot I was going to follow up on this..  FONT_DIR is a
space-separated list of directories.  The only example of a font with
multiple directories I know of is font-misc-ethiopic.  In that case, the
command run here would be:

  rm -rf /usr/share/fonts/TTF OTF/fonts.{scale,dir,cache-1}

:/

cleanup_fonts(), create_fonts_scale(), and create_fonts_dir() are similarly
broken with multiple directories.


  create_fonts_scale() {
	  if [[ ${DIR} != Speedo && ${DIR} != CID ]]; then

I think you mean ${FONT_DIR} here.  

Honestly, you might consider dropping TTF from font-misc-ethiopic and only
install the OTF version.  It would simplify things greatly.
