Not the answer, I'm afraid. The existing entry is a symlink to the above
fonts directory and making it a direct pointer does not help.
To make matters worse, I tried to fix things by reinstalling some xorg
packages and now startx complains that it cannot move
/var/log/Xorg.0.log to /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old.
This is very bad. I'd purge the whole of xorg and start again if I knew
which packages to purge.
