Seems like the font/ subdirectory is old and afaik undocumented 2e
code that hasn't been touched since that release as libg.h is already
missing in 3e.  From a quick glance, these might have been used to
generate some of the fonts in /lib/font.  Unless there's some utility
in porting this code, I suggest we just remove the directory.
