Re: Debian/Testing: x-window-system-core broken/missing fonts.alias?

Hmm... I'm not sure. I do not have X11 directory in /usr/share/fonts/ at all.

# ll /usr/share/fonts/
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   37 2006-05-17 20:29 fonts.cache-1
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2006-05-17 17:19 truetype
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2006-05-17 16:01 type1

I do have /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ though:

# ll /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 28672 2006-05-18 15:21 100dpi

...

One strange thing I can spot right away is that I do not have the "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID" directory (see above).

Any ideas? Thanks

The font paths have changed for Xorg 7.0; it's "/usr/share/fonts/X11/"instead of "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/". The corresponding section ofyour /etc/X11/xorg.conf should look something like this: 
Section "Files"        
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"        
FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"        
FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
EndSection

(You might have different fonts there, but the first part of the pathsshould be like in my example.)
