See man xorg.conf:
"When this [the FontPath] entry is not specified in the config file,
the server falls back to the compiled-in default font path, which
contains the following font path elements:
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -la /usr/lib/X11/
total 48
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-12-06 00:33 .
drwxr-xr-x 95 root root 40960 2008-12-05 23:31 ..

The server knows where it could find fonts, but there are none. It
worked before I made the FontPath entries, though.
So how does the xserver find the fonts?
