I recall working on alias files in the font directories years ago but I don't
remember the details now. You will have to look up the XFree86 HOWTO to find
out if such is the case,

My diff output shows large differences between the 2001-4-14 font files 
and the newer split up font files (on a font by font comparison).
I am inclined to suggest that you re-install the font files from the split 
tarballs just to save yourself a lot of work. However if you would 
rather do it the hard way and learn from the experience, I can only refer you
to the numerous documentation on the Net or the X Window Users Guide.

What I did was to reinstall just the fonts I needed - that worked
well for me.
