xset bad font path element, ugly fonts
Recently, fonts have turned really ugly in various applications. In an attempt to fix them, I was trying to add fontpaths with xset. However, if I try to load msttcorefonts, for example, xset chokes.
xset: bad font path element (#100), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
The directory has the same perms as other directories that I'm able to add to the fontpath without an error. I've run mkfontdir and mkfontscale in all of the directories, so that shouldn't be a problem, and I'm not sure about the third one.
I'm testing the fonts in Gnome right now and everything looks great. The problem is confined to xfce.
The output for Xorg.0.log is:
Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/OTF, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/CID/, removing from list!
There isn't even /usr/share/fonts/X11/* in the list and I don't know why it removes the local font server from the list.
Thanks
