What is the point of putting the font name (fixed, 75dpi, whatever) in 
the symlink name.  It's evident from the symlink destination.

If unscaled is the only option, why not simplify the symlink name to 
<priority>[unscaled], i.e.

20unscaled \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi
60 \-> /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript
10unscaled \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc
40 \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1
50 \-> /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1

This would clean things up a lot.
