	On the other hand, if I change the fonts/bdf/misc directory so
	that these fonts are there, I (or whoever is handling the distribution)
	have to make the change every time there is a new X release.

Sounds like a good solution to me.


	                                it seems like the standard X
	distribution could be a little better in allowing for this kind
	of thing without having to modify the distribution.

There is nothing sacred about the directory structure chosen for the MIT
releases.  A lot of vendors change the paths anyway, as do a lot of sites
that use the MIT servers.
