Hi,
I think that I did a dirty system upgrade. I reinstalled xorg, xorg server several times and I get always the same error when I arrive at the point of installing the fonts.
E.g. pacman -S ttf-ms-fonts
I get the following errors:
mkfontscale: command not found
mkfontdir: : command not found
Previously I had also the error: fc-cache: command not found
this one was solved by I installed fontconfig
What else should I install to get the mkfontdir and mkfontscale commands?
Thank you very much for letting me know.

pacman -S xorg-font-utils

Thank you, the commands now work, but xorg complains again about fonts, it says that it can't find the "fixed" font.
I installed (and re-installed with the -f option) the 75dpi, 100dpi and misc fonts, but nothing changed
I reinstalled all the xorg packages, by using the command pacman -Sf xorg xorg-server etc. (I found a list in the wiki) but still the same problem...
Do you know an effective way (don't tell me to reformat and re-install, we are not talking about Windows here...) to re-install all the xorg components (fonts included) even if pacman sees them as already installed?
I already did pacman -Su but nothing changed...
Thanks for some hints... I will ask in the meanwhile also in another area of the forum about pacman...

Just pacman -S them again. It should tell you that whatever you're trying to install will be reinstalled. For instance (paraphrased a bit):
pacman -S ttf-ms-fonts
warning: ttf-ms-fonts.x.x.x is up to date -- reinstalling
Proceed? [Y/n]
