I think that's the old way (prior to 2.0) fonts were
installed.  The newer idea is for everything about a font to
be in a directory called <fontname>.font (the outlines, the
afm files, the bitmap files).  I noticed that buildafmdir
does not update the separate directories.  I thereupon
deleted the three directories, to no ill effect.
