    But mkfontdir creates fonts.dir file without removing the "." from
    the file names.

Right, there is a bug in mkfontdir that causes this when using "old"
fonts that don't have a "FONT" property.  We'll probably post a fix
at some point, but the correct thing to do is fix your fonts to have
a correct FONT property.
