Thank you. I'll try to reflect that info in INSTALL.

Ah, that is for the case that you use *.ttf directly with
the support of TrueType fonts on X server side.

The above font name is incomplete (I don't know how you get
that name). Please use the font names returned by:
xlsfonts -fn '*-cdac'
Anyway, I'd like to ask you to try the other method too,
i.e. using *.ttf directly. But, before doing that, please
remove the directory of CDAC PCF fonts from your font path
to avoid unnecessary confusion.
This time, you don't need mkfontdir which is a command to
generate fonts.dir from the directory contents. Instead,
put these lines in fonts.dir by yourself in the directory of
*.ttf, and "xset fp+ ...".

It's not a good idea to have *.ttf and *.pcf in the same
directory. Please put *.ttf in its own directory (say,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cdac).
