No, your problem can't possibly be related to the problem reported by the original submitter of this bug. > Symptoms: > xserver-xorg 7.1.0 refuses to start with the following errors > (in /var/log/Xorg.0.log) > Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled, > removing from list! > Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi, removing > from list! > Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled, > removing from list! > Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi, removing > fromlist! > Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/PEX, removing from > list! > Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic, removing > from list! > Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1, removing > from list! > Fatal server error: > could not open default font 'fixed' > ---------------- > The error was caused because I upgraded from an old installation where my > /etc/X11/xorg.conf contained font directories from > /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. > Proposed solution: > have a postinst check for FontPath elements with > /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/xyz > and change the base directory to /usr/share/fonts/X11/ > (or maybe /usr/share/fonts/X11/X11R7/ would be even better, I'm not sure) There is already a postinst check for font paths of /usr/lib/X11/fonts, which is the font path that was included by default in sarge. I believe there was discussion when this change happened about also checking for /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts; I don't remember why this wasn't implemented. I would suggest that you file a separate bug report against the xserver-xorg package requesting this.
