1 Can anyone say why I have the error messages in my Xorg.0.log file that
2 I list below?
3
4 xlsfonts(1) does not list fonts that are in /usr/share/fonts.
5
6 If I add them with "xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/courier-prime" they appear
7 and then disappear in the "xset -q" display.  They are not available to
8 xlsfonts, though.
9
10 Interestingly enough, adding them with the plus in back: "xset fp+
11 /user/..." causes them to persist, but still not be available to xlsfonts.

13 An inspection of /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows this:
14
15 [   663.033] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/" does not exist.
16 [   663.033]    Entry deleted from font path.
17 [   663.033] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF/" does not exist.
18 [   663.033]    Entry deleted from font path.
19 [   663.033] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/" does not
20 exist.
21 [   663.033]    Entry deleted from font path.
22 [   663.033] (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in
23 "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/".
24 [   663.033]    Entry deleted from font path.
25 [   663.033]    (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/").
26 [   663.033] (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in
27 "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/".
28 [   663.033]    Entry deleted from font path.
29 [   663.033]    (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/").
30 [   663.033] (==) FontPath set to:
31         /usr/share/fonts/misc/
32
33 These directories all exist and have populated fonts.dir and fonts.scale
34 files in them.
