It can be automatically generated.  The /usr/sbin/fonts-config script
on SuSE Linux generates such TTCap entries automatically into the
fonts.dir if it detects that xtt is enabled in /etc/X11/XF86Config.

Currently it generates only entries for artifical bold and italic
for fonts which do not yet have real bold and italic versions.

I could extended it to support more features of TTCap, but I'm not
sure whether it is worth the effort.

I agree that the old X fonts are broken beyond repair and we should
move on to use fontconfig/Xft as much as possible.

The old font system must be kept for backwards compatibility of course
but it is probably just a waste of effort to add more extensions the
X11 core font system.
