That's no problem here. The truetype FontPath is at position 7 down the list. 
But perhaps that behaviour changed between 4.1.0 and 4.2.0.

I don't have them either and it works wonderfully. However (again) I'm running 
4.2.0, but that shouldn't matter all too much since they didn't change that 
part of the system AFAIK. I had 4.1.0 running before and I don't remember 
those modules.

Dumb idea: is the Module secion before or after the Files section? I don't 
know if this matters, but originally it's before.
