[Xorg] Kdrive saga

I have built Kdrive against 4.3.0 sources with the following host.def
file I have created:
#define KDriveXServer  YES
#define TinyXServer    YES
#define XvesaServer    YES
#define ProjectRoot    /usr/X11R6
#define BuildLBX       YES
#define BuildDBE       YES
#define KdriveServerExtraDefines  -DPIXPRIV
#define BuildRandR     YES
#define BuildXInputLib    YES
#define Freetype2Dir   $(TOP)/extras/freetype2
#define Freetype2LibDir  $(TOP)/exports/lib
#define BuildXTrueType   YES
#define BuildScreenSaverExt   YES
#define BuildScreenSaverLibrary  YES
#define SharedLibXss       YES
#define  ServerXdmcpDefines

Then I " make World", "make install". It's "sorta" working, but not
really. First thing I have noticed that it has shared library compiled
in /usr/X11R6/lib instead of where other GUI applications are looking
for them, in /usr/lib. I have copied by hand those libs and Sylpheed and
couple of others worked. Is there anyway to tell Kdrive to install them
in /usr/lib, or is that safe to copy them their in a bunch? I think
I can symlink them, but not sure of the right way of doing so. 

Another thing, and most important for now is the problem with fonts.
On a /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvesa start-up , I have the following errors:

Could not init font path element:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi

I have checked those pathes and indeed, I simply don't have those /fonts
directory. I have looked into /usr/X11R6/include directory and found
/fonts there ( not /misc, /75dpi. /100dpi directories, but freetype2).

My aterm complains about "can't load font "7x14". Ratpoison WM can't
start because of "Can't load font 9x15bold.

So, any ideas where is my fonts? I have also looked in kdrive.cf
and found their the following line:
#define DefaultFontPath built-ins
$(FONTDIR)/misc/,$(FONTDIR)/75dpi,$(FONTDIR)/100dpi.

It seems that this kdrive.cf is also readable together with my host.def.
Anyway, any help to recover my fonts is much appreciated. Thanks.

Asterius.
