xfonts-unifont.tcz installing problem

[AbNoRMiS]

revealed the following error when installing xfonts-unifont.tcz

tc@box:~$ tce-load -wi xfonts-unifont.tcz
Downloading: xfonts-unifont.tcz
Connecting to distro.ibiblio.org (152.19.134.43:80)
xfonts-unifont.tcz   100% |*****************************************************************************************|   948k  0:00:00 ETA
xfonts-unifont.tcz: OK
./fonts.dir: fopen(w): Read-only file system
tc@box:~$

and then this error occurs during every system startup
i think this occurs because unifont can not be written to
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir which is symlinked

most fonts with bitmap fonts don't work properly out of the box.
it is a well made little script tho.

The workaround is manual.

sudo rm the symlink.
run mkfontdir an mkfontscale in the directory your fonts are in (from Xorg-7.x-bin)

then manually set the font path
xset +fp /path/to/fonts
xset fp rehash

does anybody have experience with bitmap fonts working out of the box  for them?

if not, maybe you should also pm the maintainer

cheerio,
solorin

dear solorin
pm has already been sent
thanks for exhaustive response
i think it will help to correct the initialization script
meanwhile i will try do it from bootlocal.sh
