AFAICT, it enables old application (e.g., gtk1) to make use of True
Type fonts (and CID, but I don't use those) which get registered via
defoma only. It works by creating a directory with symlinks to be
listed in the XF86Config file or equivalent (font server config file).
I'd like to ask that x-ttcidfont-conf doesn't get removed from the
archive: works fine enough under most circumstances and does a
necessary job. I'm subscribed to its PTS and can take care if
something RC pops up -- but I can't really think of adopting it, I'm
afraid.
Cheers,

The problem I have with making an intelligent statement is that some
people then think that it's not an isolated occurrance.
