Every font should have %reconfigure_fonts_scriptlets macro, which should run fonts-config. fifth-leg-font do so, so additional run of fonts-config should not be needed.

Then if ($extension =~ /otf/i && ! $freetype_module_used) { if ($VERBOSITY >= $VERBOSITY_DEBUG) { print ".otf won't work without freetype module,... ...discarding $fonts_scale_entries{$xlfd} $xlfd\n"; } delete $fonts_scale_entries{$xlfd}; } So question for Stefan: is checking for freetype module still relevant?

Yes. It has been touched, but only in in very isolated portions of code. Will see if I have enough knowledge for this task and in which time horizon it could be done.
