The folder /usr/X11R6 hasn't existed on Gentoo for years now (since move to Xorg). Does the folder /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts exist on other distros?


Also, the code seems to be making an attempt to look for "ALTERNATE" font paths and many of those paths are there:

$ ls -al /usr/share/fonts/*/fonts.{alias,dir}

Please take a look at [1] and make sure either of those paths exists  
on your system.

You need the fixed fonts in the misc/ fontdir.

Is everything in place there?
