This bug doesn't mention the paths. I'll send a followup. > It uses a compile-time path, we have to UTSL to find it out.

In xorg.conf, I have specified: FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/encodings/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/util/" Now some font paths seem to come from somewhere else than from the configuration. What happens with the compiled-in defaults when a font path is specified in the configuration? And look at the path: Three entries are doubled (100dpi/:unscaled, misc, Type1), one entry seems to be incorrect (100dpi), and one entry might come from the compiled-in defaults. Two of the paths I specified seem to be invalid --- if there are no fonts in those directories, what do they have to do under /usr/share/X11/fonts? What a mess ... Is it just me, or is Debian getting more and more sloppy with things like this? -- "Don't let them, daddy.
