no. mkfontscale (and mkfontdir which is just a wrapper for mkfontscale)
can handle all true type fonts.
the wrapper mkfontdir looks like
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontscale -b -s -l "$@"
-b: read bitmap fonts
-s: ignore scalable fonts
the correct way to setup a font dir is
mkfontscale $dir # scan Truetype fonts
mkfontscale -b -s -l $dir # scan bitmap fonts
