ttmkfdir is for TrueType fonts (thus 'tt'), and so running it in a
directory containing only Type1 / bitmap fonts won't do a thing.
mkfontdir is for legacy bitmap fonts IIRC.
Just read the fonts.dir files in your various font directories to find
out which non-TrueType iso8859-8 fonts you have.

mkfontdir doesn't automagically list TTFs even if your X server
supports them. You'd still use ttmkfdir for the task.
You can remove the FontPath "unix/:7100" (or whatever it is in your XF86Config)
and add FontPath lines to your font directories (including the TrueType fonts
directory). On XFree86 4.0, assuming you have the "freetype" module loaded
(config line: Load "freetype"), it should work.

Not really. ttmkfdir does a much better job at finding out available
encodings of each font. Until I upgraded to XFree86 4.0, I used
xfs-xtt, along with ttmkfdir.
