    346318      <para>The core X font protocol finds fonts from the server configuration
    347       file (<filename>xorg.conf</filename> or <filename>XF86Config</filename>).
    348       If no font paths exist in the configuration file, the server will fall
    349       back to an internal hard-coded path.  Assuming the prefix for your
    350       <application>X</application> installation is
    351       <filename class="directory">/usr/X11R6</filename>, the core fonts will
    352       reside in subdirectories of <filename

     319      file (<filename>xorg.conf</filename>). If no font paths exist in the
     320      configuration file, the server will fall back to an internal hard-coded
     321      path.  Assuming the prefix for your <application>X</application>
     322      installation is <filename class="directory">/usr/X11R6</filename>, the
     323      core fonts will reside in subdirectories of
     324      <filename class="directory">/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</filename>. For each
    354325      directory in the path, the server reads three files:</para>
