Hello,

I configured my X using xorgcfg. My X is working properly and my xorg.conf is given below:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "Files"
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "freetype"
# Load "xtt"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "dbe"
Load "record"
Load "xtrap"
Load "type1"
Load "speedo"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

EndSection

Section "Monitor"

EndSection

EndSection

Section "Screen"

Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"

# Modes "800x600"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection

As we can see above, Section "Files" does not contain any font paths. But if I do xset q I get the output shown below:

Keyboard Control:

How is this font path set without any corresponding entries in xorg.conf? How to add new directories to this font path?

Thanks for your help,

Anand

under your post in xorg.conf,there is fontpath setting.

you should be running the X font Server, xfs seperately to X itself. it is typically started on boot as a service.

fontpath....um... I am sure that you can do it by modifying local.conf (fontconfig)
