I am guessing this has been asked before, but hey.

When I run X I get:

Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/, removing from
 list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing fro
m list!

There are no scalable fonts in X, only bitmap fonts.

I have xfont-scale installed. I tried purging and reinstalling it, did not
help. Here are some directory listings:

$ ls --width=80 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/{Speedo,Type1}

So any ideas? Have I done something dumb?
