The font paths in xorg.conf are: $ grep FontPath /etc/X11/xorg.conf FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
so there are more font paths than xset q gives. Restarting X didn't solve the problem, but now I look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log the cyrillic path is not found (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist. Entry deleted from font path. (**) FontPath set to "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/sh are/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/sha re/fonts/X11/75dpi,/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType,/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc /,/usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/OTF,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/,/usr/share/f onts/X11/CID/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/" but there are these messages near the end of the log file: Could not init font path element /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/OTF, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/CID/, removing from list! The latter three don't exist but the first does. But its font.dir is empty so I recreated it with mkfontdir and font.scale with mkfontscale and now that path is not rejected by X and so xset q gives: Font Path: /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType,/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/ And xfontsel shows more fonts But the xfig problem remains. Also I noticed that xfontsel shows that the font needed is missing because the size 13 is not available, eg in -*-times-medium-r-normal--13-*-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-* Size 12 is available. I'm no expert here but will try to track down the font issues.
