Compiling Fonts

I have compiled the xserver and drivers for X.org 7.1, and am now
trying to do the same for the fonts. Some questions:

1) I assume there is no need to compile all of the available font
modules. Which are recommened?

2) I am getting the following error when I try to compile the fonts:
make  install-data-hook
make[2]: Entering directory
`/root/tmp/x.org/tarballs-font/font/font-adobe-75dpi-X11R7.0-1.0.0'
/etc/X11/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
make[2]: execvp: /etc/X11/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi: Permission denied
make[2]: *** [install-data-hook] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/root/tmp/x.org/tarballs-font/font/font-adobe-75dpi-X11R7.0-1.0.0'
make[1]: *** [install-data-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/root/tmp/x.org/tarballs-font/font/font-adobe-75dpi-X11R7.0-1.0.0'
make: *** [install-am] Error 2

Currently, I am compiling the following modules (all in the font directory):
font-adobe-75dpi-X11R7.0-1.0.0.tar.bz2
font-bitstream-75dpi-X11R7.0-1.0.0.tar.bz2
font-bitstream-type1-X11R7.0-1.0.0.tar.bz2
font-util-X11R7.1-1.0.1.tar.bz2
font-xfree86-type1-X11R7.0-1.0.0.tar.bz2

3) I am also seeing:
t courB14.bdf | gzip > courB14.pcf.gz
/bin/sh: t: command not found
in my log during the compile (it is repeated nurmerous times for
various fonts). This isn't stopping the compilation: should I worry
about it?

Thanks,
--Kenneth
