What version of Mandrake? What version of XFree?
If you're using XFree 4 and it finds XF86Config-4 it will use it instead,
and mandrake generally use that file.

You can still add directories to X's font path directly.
You can also try to use 'chkfontpath' or edit /etc/X11/fs/config to
modifiy the fonts server fontpath. However, the fonts server lacks a bit
in error recovery, and X generally won't be able to start when it is down
(and will freeze when it goes down)
