Try to just eliminate "Files" section altogether. You then get in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log something like this:
(==) No FontPath specified. Using compiled-in default.
(==) FontPath set to:
catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d,
built-ins
This is completely beside the point. The problem occures in the
part of the log that you skipped and I'm going to re-insert:
> [dix] Could not init font path element
/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi, removing from list!
> [dix] Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
I'm sorry to repeat it for you, but X server is badly broken
(or was broken, for the documented version).
Pete, xfs is not manadatory anymore and it is not installed per
default since somewhere in F9. All configuration files for
individual font packages should go to /etc/X11/fontpath.d. If you
eliminate "Files" section, stop xfs, restart Xorg, and something
doesn't work, THEN file a bug about it.
Not that I care about it, since I don't use legacy applications,
but you're dead wrong here as long as the capability to use Files
and FontPath is documented. Ditto xfs.
