Description
As discussed in the thread "Plan for dealing with X11 fonts in OpenSolaris/IPS"
on xwin-discuss/indiana-discuss/i18n-discuss:

The libXfont we now ship has support for "catalogue" directories -
directories which have just symlinks to the actual font directories,
so that when you add a font package, it installs its fonts in a new
directory, and adds a symlink to the catalogue directory.

This RFE will create /etc/X11/fontpath.d and add
'catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d'  to the default Xorg font path,
so that the FSWxorg-font-* packages can add their font directories
by simply adding symlinks in that directories.
