Are you sure?
IIRC adding a line to fonts.dir without updating the lines count in the
top of that file may lead to unexpected results.
Anyway, not any iso8859-1 is a unicode font (for instance: adobe helvetica
that comes with XFree).
The following may be safer:
perl -i -pe 's/iso8859-9/iso-10646-1/' fonts.dir
This is a "turkish patch" to fonts.dir. I simply assume that if any font
happens to supply the turkish encoding, it is in fact a unicode font and
may just as well supply iso10646-i if asked nicely.
(and I also hope that most people here won't miss the Turkish encoding)
