I just got another machine up and running FBSD4.4 and installed the lates=
t=20
Xfree86 from sysinstall and it was working just great. I then added some=20
other fonts in the ports and added the necessary lines to the XF86Config=20
file. I discovered that the webfonts package is breaking X. If I leave it=
 in=20
like shown below then I get this message:

failed to set font path: (all the font paths listed)
fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

But if I comment it out then X starts just fine. I thought maybe there wa=
s a=20
limited number of fontpath lines, so I tried by commenting out anthere li=
ne=20
and uncommenting webfonts, but it still broke X. Seems webfonts break X.=20
Anyone else seen this problem?

I have 20 fontpath lines.

I noticed that the webfonts directory contains ttf fonts. Can I just copy=
=20
these to the TrueType fonts directory?
