Hello World,
It's quite common for people to ask questions on the support list about issues related to fonts. I feel many of these issues could be avoided if we passed this option to fontconfigs configure script.
--with-add-fonts=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
Also, I notice on the page about X Window System Components that it suggests that people
"Ensure the FontPath in 'XF86Config' or 'xorg.conf' Points to the TrueType Font
Directory". Is this a relic from the time when we used the version of fontconfig
included with XFree86? Or is it there in case people decide not to compile fontconfig
separately but decide to use the one included with xorg/XFree? If people follow the
advice in BLFS and compile fontconfig separately then xorg.conf is not relevant as far as
configuring fonts goes.
