That could be one solution. The other solution would be to hide this from the user, i.e an unvisible configuration option to select the installation location of the fonts (i.e ? fonts in subdirs ? or ? all fonts in /usr/share/fonts ?). ? fonts in subdirs ? would be the default, and ? all fonts in /usr/share/fonts/ ? would be selected by Nano-X/Microwindows. This way, the user wouldn't have to worry about the installation location of fonts. But for the moment, we don't have any microwin package. It got removed in september 2010, due to upstream inactivity. But it seems that the project is active again, and a new release has been made. So obviously, we could re-add such a package if someone submits it.
