I ran across this one during an upgrade from potato to woody the other day.
I wondered why fonts looked so horrible all of a sudden and I thought maybe
xfs wasn't running. A closer look at things showed that xfs-xtt was running
on 7110 and X was expecting xfs on 7100. A quick change to the config file
got my fonts looking good again.
xfs-xtt seems to serve all my fonts well, so it doesn't look like it's
Truetype-specific.

Hi all
The fontpath as in the subject seems to be the default for X4 setup.
Anyhow, I was surprised it did not work, since xfs-xtt does run, and is
afaik a font server.
Upon closer investigation, it seems that xfs-xtt is running at port
7110, since:
ps aux | grep xfs
nobody 189 0.0 4.2 17656 16204 ? S 14:23 0:00
/usr/bin/X11/xfs-xtt -daemon -user nobody -port 7110
Anyhow, so what I'd like to know, is this a bug, or should another font
server be installed to serve non-truetype fonts. Serving truetype
fonts is what xfs-xtt is for, if I remember correctly?
xfs serves fonts at port 7100 - if you want it, you can use it,
although X4 does much of this on it's own.
HTH,
