What about the created lex files and executables for conversion in
etc/x-symbol/bin/SYSCONFIG/
They get created after "M-x x-symbol-exec-create" under XEmacs/no-Mule.
I cannot make them appear in the MANIFEST because SYSCONFIG is the value
of `system-configuration' and users might have defined their own token
languages (BTW, language "Isabelle Symbol" is in preparation,
to be distributed with the Emacs package ProofGeneral).
These file are major PITA [1] for the package system anyway since one
day maybe the package tree will move to /usr/..../share and you do not
want executables there :-(
BTW, it would be only 67k if faces would have a face property
`baseline-shift'...
You mean XEmacs faces? Maybe that wouldn't even that difficult to add.
OK, I will include them. Although the real benefit (no user
interaction
during installation) is only there with sth like Jim's code for an Elisp
function set-font-path...
Of course nothing forbids you to run a
(call-process "xset" nil nil nil "+fp" "path")
:-)

Footnotes:
[1] I like greek Pita bread a lo so I find this acronym to be
somewhat doubtful.
