I believe it's actually the nbsd link that's a leftover; certainly the
other platforms seem to work all right without such symlinks in place. I
am not sure which programs would look for X fonts inside the infoagents
structure at all, but I'll check on it. There is a chance that it is a
relic of Mosaic (the nbsd platform is the only one which still has an
active Mosaic, along with a lot of other cruft).
