Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22
Severity: normal

First of all I take some configurations and logs

|================= X font Server =============================
/etc/X11/fs/config contains:

[skip]
catalogue = /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,
            /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,
            /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,
            /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/
[skip]

|================= Xorg server ================================

/etc/X11/xorg.conf contains:

Section "Files"
       FontPath        "unix/:7100"
EndSection

|==============================================================

/var/log/Xorg.0.log takes:

(**) FontPath set to
"unix/:7100,/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/OTF,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/CID/,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/"

|==============================================================

Output of 'xlsfonts' is something like this:

As we see, Xorg server dublicates font patterns because it processes
compiled-in pathes (see log above). Hm, this is something strange 
because the FILE SECTION, subsection "FontPath" from 'man xorg.conf' says:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
"When  this entry is not specified in the config file, the server
falls back to the compiled-in default font path, which  contains
the following font path elements:

      /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
      /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/
      /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/
      /usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID/
      /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/
      /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
-----------------------------------------------------------------

So the rule is 'if I write one or more FontPath entries, then compiled-in font 
path must be skiped'. We see the opposite behaviour: compiled-in
pathes were selected and the dublication of fontpathes wasn't eliminated.

I discovered that the number of duplicates in 'xlsfonts' output equals =
font patternt from xfs (one entry) + font pattern from compiled-in 
pathes (one entry) + number of aliases to this font which was found
in fonts.alias (zero or great entries).

So for, say, -misc-fixed-bold-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
we have four entries in the 'xlsfonts' output!

With the command 

xset -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,
         /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/

the dublications of font patterns are disappeared. (wow!)

The 'xfontsel' program also processes all these pattern entries.
Before xset command 'xfontsel' found 6000+ pattens and after 2400+.

I have the same issue if I rewrite xorg.conf.

Section "Files"
#       FontPath        "unix/:7100"
      FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
      FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled"
      FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled"
      FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
EndSection

Then /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/" does not exist.
        Entry deleted from font path.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/OTF" does not exist.
        Entry deleted from font path.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/CID/" does not exist.
        Entry deleted from font path.
(==) FontPath set to "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/"

Xorg server try to search compiled-in pathes again. Why?

This has been fixed in the latest upload of the X server to unstable.
Thanks for your report. Closing.
