Er, I more meant that the default config that *new* installs of X
creates puts the Type1 line at the bottom.  As far as I know, it will
still cause problems if it's not at the bottom.

I'll update it to mention that you don't need to worry about fontconfig
on stable, thanks.

Have you installed any truetype font packages from Debian?

No.  If you don't use fontconfig, ignore it completely.  It has no
bearing on your other X fonts.
