Can anyone say why I have the error messages in my Xorg.0.log file that I list below?
xlsfonts(1) does not list fonts that are in /usr/share/fonts. If I add them with "xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/courier-prime" they appear and then disappear in the "xset -q" display. They are not available to xlsfonts, though. Interestingly enough, adding them with the plus in back: "xset fp+ /user/..." causes them to persist, but still not be available to xlsfonts. An inspection of /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows this: [ 663.033] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/" does not exist. [ 663.033] Entry deleted from font path. [ 663.033] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF/" does not exist. [ 663.033] Entry deleted from font path. [ 663.033] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/" does not exist.
