I get the subject error during the startup process.  I can replicate
it manually, as below, within account kdetst (ie. PS1="kdetst: "):

kdetst: mkfontdir /home/kdetst/.fonts
kdetst: echo $?
0

So, the mkfontdir succeeds.

kdetst: xset +fp /home/kdetst/.fonts
xset:  bad font path element (#64), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax

The xset fails; testing the possible causes:
Obviously the directory exists.

kdetst: ll -d /home/kdetst/.fonts
drwxr-xr-x    2 kdetst   users        4096 May 10 11:14 /home/kdetst/.fonts
The permissions look ok to me; am I misunderstanding something here?

kdetst: cat /home/kdetst/.fonts/fonts.dir 
0

So it's not "missing fonts.dir."

No font server in use, just a set of font paths.

What is xset unhappy about?

TIA,

Jim
