Why did you use buildafmdir? If I incorporate new fonts into my system  
I simply start up any application that uses the FontPanel, then there  
comes a message that the system had found new fonts, and after a few  
moments (depends on the amount of fonts, I guess you have to wait a few  
minutes for 300) the panel goes away and you can use the new fonts.

BTW, we didn't change anything on or fonts when upgrading to 3.0, they  
are still located on a 2.1 server, and work fine under 3.0

Hope this helps
