[After removing `fonts/X11', i.e. both 'X11' and 'fonts']

# pwd
/usr/lib/X11
# ln -s -v --verbose /usr/share/fonts/X11 fonts
create symbolic link `fonts' to `/usr/share/fonts/X11'
# ls fonts
.  ..  100dpi  75dpi  Type1  cyrillic  encodings  fonts.cache-1  misc  util
# ls -l fonts
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Apr 23 23:37 fonts -> /usr/share/fonts/X11

I'm not sure I understand what's going on here ...
