Well, first of all, since X is started with "-fp built-ins", it ignores the FontPath specified by xorg.conf. As far as I can tell, the "-fp built-ins" is hard-coded into olpc-dm. So there's no easy way to change it. Which seems really stupid to me, but perhaps I'm missing something here.
In any case, it *should* be possible to change the font path after the server has started, using xset. As I understand it, either of the following should work:
(a) xset +fp unix/:7100
(b) xset +fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi
Both of them give the unhelpful response:
xset: bad font path element (#61), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
What the heck is going on here?
