So, for the sake of clarification as some conflicting statements have
been made, as long as the FontPath to
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType is given in
XF86Config-4, the order of the FontPaths doesn't matter, ie. even if
the path to Type1 fonts is given first, X will put it last it?
Also, Rob's guide assumes that fontconfig is installed. As I use only
the stable distribution at the moment, defoma is installed but not
fontconfig. The debconf message for defoma told me to put
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType as a FontPath in
XF86Config-4 but my /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfon t-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/
directory contains nothing but the file, fonts.dir, at the moment.
This doesn't seem correct. Is this bunk until fontconfig is installed?
