Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local, removing from list!
I have entered this folder and checked, there are totally 3 files:
encodings.dir
fonts.cache-1
fonts.dir
Actually there are more than one font pash could not be found, they are:
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/local/share/fonts, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/default, removing from list!
All these paths exist! I have googled, nothing helpful. Can anyone help?
Thanks for reply.
U are right, there are no fonts inside and the fonts.dir files are empty. Does this mean that these paths can be comment out from the Xorg.conf?
"It" refers to the Xorg.0.log file
am i right in guessing that you recently changed from XFree86 to xorg? in that case, xorg moved it's default font locations to a more friendly location of /usr/share/fonts.

Yes. You can also startx as root and log back out & everything should be fine.
