Something giving > you an error message? No problem, I was just trying to get the fc-list command to work and when it didn't I looked closer at the book. I followed the links and didn't understand the usage of ../ to define the ln target. It confused my understanding of paths and pointing links. I understand now that had I installed in the standard prefix, ../X11R6 would be /usr/X11R6. It only remains the font links. My fc-list works after employing the TTF link however, the OTF dir doesn't exist. There's no mention in the book that fonts/OTF only exists under specific circumstances. My font directory is populated like:
100dpi 75dpi CID cyrillic encodings local misc TTF Type1 util As far as errors, if I bring up X and shut it down, I do get the following font error. As I haven't been able to ask a sighted person to look, I don't know if my basic X session is displaying a font. Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" Could not init font path element /usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!
