Greetings,

The version of  update-fonts-dir  in Testing doesn't handle relative 
path names.  In particular,  "update-fonts-dir ."  silently does 
nothing, because  /usr/lib/X11/fonts/.  exists and is a directory, 
but has no fonts to add.  The attached patch addresses this (although 
perhaps not optimally).

Cheers,
Lachlan
