And, how is it initted/created and what should be in it? Is it a file or a directory? I'm finding nuttin' googling my rear-end off. How 'bout it Rahul?? Inquiring minds really need to know, so Xvfb works. Or, would a local.conf file, as suggested here, override the mysterious fontpath.d whateveritis?? I sure need to fix this one for my project using Xvbf in Java Wonderland so we get our "proof-of-concept" before the interested parties.
