Xorg Font Question
I was reviewing some of my config files and when checking out xorg.conf I have noticed an interesting thing about FontPath. Here is how it currently looks
I do have fonts in thereCode:Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" #FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/" EndSection
And I also have my /usr/share/fontsCode:insomnia lib # cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts insomnia fonts # ls 100dpi Type1 corefonts encodings local ukr 75dpi aquafont cyrillic fonts.cache-1 misc util TTF artwiz default freefont ttf-bitstream-vera
Some of the folders are obviously not listed, so should I fix this to thisCode:insomnia fonts # cd /usr/share/fonts insomnia fonts # ls 100dpi Type1 corefonts encodings local ukr 75dpi aquafont cyrillic fonts.cache-1 misc util TTF artwiz default freefont ttf-bitstream-vera
And should I use /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts or /usr/share/fonts?Code:Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/artwiz/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/corefonts/" EndSection

I checked my system and I only have those fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/, I'm not sure what your shared fonts are for but seeing as I don't have them and I have no problems either I can't take much of a guess at that.
You can try seeing if it'll take the other fonts, but there's no guarantees, it won't break X and it'll just give you an error message for each if there's a problem with it, the best way to see this is to startx and then immediately exit X to see all messages from start to finish.
Either way your fonts are correct, and it won't do any harm to try the others, the only thing I can't tell you is what the shared fonts are for, maybe you can find that out or someone else has the answer.
