Details

Some fonts' .install files has only fc-cache, some has mkfontdir and mkfontscale, and some has even xset -fp rehash.
IMO there should be standard proto.PKGBUIKLD and proto.install for all font packages. All existing font packages (including those in AUR) should be reviewed and changed if needed.
This task depends upon

Additional comments about closing:  All fonts known to me implement the correct install scriptlets now.

I fully agree. Font install scripts in Arch are quite a mess ... This should be filed as BUG, not FEATURE REQUEST ;-)

I am going to file a more detailed bug report separately.
