I don't know which of the 3 suggestions (/etc/X11/fs/config, /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc, or XF86Config-4 Fontpath:) in this thread did the trick - I tried them all but I think it was just the fs config file in the end - but I did notice that no changes took effect until I poked the fontserver as well as restarted X. i.e. if xfs was process 314, kill -HUP 314 -r -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
