The font paths in xorg.conf are:
$ grep FontPath /etc/X11/xorg.conf
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
so there are more font paths than xset q gives. Restarting X didn't
solve the problem, but now I look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log the cyrillic
path is not found
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist.
Entry deleted from font path.
(**) FontPath set to
"/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/sh
are/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/sha
re/fonts/X11/75dpi,/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType,/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc
/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/OTF,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/,/usr/share/f
onts/X11/CID/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/"
but there are these messages near the end of the log file:
Could not init font path element
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/OTF, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/CID/, removing from list!
The latter three don't exist but the first does. But its font.dir is
empty so I recreated it with mkfontdir and font.scale with mkfontscale
and now that path is not rejected by X and so xset q gives:
Font Path:
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType,/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/
And xfontsel shows more fonts
But the xfig problem remains. Also I noticed that xfontsel shows that
the font needed is missing because the size 13 is not available, eg in
-*-times-medium-r-normal--13-*-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-*
Size 12 is available. I'm no expert here but will try to track down
the font issues.
