I don't _have_ a dir /etc/fonts at all. That seems pretty strange and
suggests to me that you have some font-related Debian package installed,
that I do not. BTW, like you, I am not running a stand-alone xfs
(anymore, after reading recent threads made me understand that I don't
need it to get TTF fonts with a XFree86 v4 server); and also like you I
have all the directories set up in XF86Config-4 (which does make a
difference as I can get "fixed" in other X apps, see it in 'xfontsel'
etc.).
There is a way that one can find out what *package* a given file in the
Debian filesystem tree comes from. It might be a dpkg command or
something else, and I cannot recall it right now. I'd be much obliged if
you might try to find out which package your file
"/etc/fonts/local.conf" comes from and let me know on the List.
Thanks.
