Bug#390766: xserver-xorg: X server always looks up the compiled-in font pathes.
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22
Severity: normal
First of all I take some configurations and logs
|================= X font Server =============================
/etc/X11/fs/config contains:
[skip]
catalogue = /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/
[skip]
|================= Xorg server ================================
/etc/X11/xorg.conf contains:
Section "Files"
FontPath "unix/:7100"
EndSection
|==============================================================
/var/log/Xorg.0.log takes:
(**) FontPath set to
"unix/:7100,/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/OTF,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/CID/,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/"
|==============================================================
Output of 'xlsfonts' is something like this:

As we see, Xorg server dublicates font patterns because it processes
compiled-in pathes (see log above). Hm, this is something strange
because the FILE SECTION, subsection "FontPath" from 'man xorg.conf' says:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"When this entry is not specified in the config file, the server
falls back to the compiled-in default font path, which contains
the following font path elements:
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID/
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
So the rule is 'if I write one or more FontPath entries, then compiled-in font
path must be skiped'. We see the opposite behaviour: compiled-in
pathes were selected and the dublication of fontpathes wasn't eliminated.
I discovered that the number of duplicates in 'xlsfonts' output equals =
font patternt from xfs (one entry) + font pattern from compiled-in
pathes (one entry) + number of aliases to this font which was found
in fonts.alias (zero or great entries).
So for, say, -misc-fixed-bold-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
we have four entries in the 'xlsfonts' output!
With the command
xset -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/
the dublications of font patterns are disappeared. (wow!)
The 'xfontsel' program also processes all these pattern entries.
Before xset command 'xfontsel' found 6000+ pattens and after 2400+.
I have the same issue if I rewrite xorg.conf.
Section "Files"
# FontPath "unix/:7100"
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"
EndSection
Then /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/" does not exist.
Entry deleted from font path.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/OTF" does not exist.
Entry deleted from font path.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/CID/" does not exist.
Entry deleted from font path.
(==) FontPath set to "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/"
Xorg server try to search compiled-in pathes again. Why?
