Thanks for the reply! The results of my sloppy sed script:
~ $ dpkg -S "*.ttf" | sort | sed 's|.*/|&>| ; s|>.*||' | uniq
ttf-bitstream-vera: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/
ttf-dustin: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dustin/
ttf-freefont: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/
ttf-larabie-straight: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/larabie-straight/
ttf-larabie-straight: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/larabie-straight/
One of the font packages, ttf-larabie-straight, appears to be
installed, via symlinks, in two places. In my
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 I have the following section:
Section "Files"
FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
EndSection
