The X server can obtain fonts from directories and/or from font servers.

The default font path is

A special kind of directory can be specified using the the \fBcatalogue\fP:
prefix. Directories specified this way can contain symlinks pointing to the
real font directories. See the FONTPATH.D section for details.
.LP
The font path can be set with the \fB\-fp\fP option or by \fIxset\fP(1)
after the server has started.
.SH "FONTPATH.D"
You can specify a special kind of font path in the form \fBcatalogue:<dir>\fR.
The directory specified after the catalogue: prefix will be scanned for symlinks
and each symlink destination will be added as a local fontfile FPE.
.PP
The symlink can be suffixed by attributes such as '\fBunscaled\fR', which
will be passed through to the underlying fontfile FPE. The only exception is
the newly introduced '\fBpri\fR' attribute, which will be used for ordering
the font paths specified by the symlinks.
An example configuration:
.nf
75dpi:unscaled:pri=20 \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi
ghostscript:pri=60 \-> /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript
misc:unscaled:pri=10 \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc
type1:pri=40 \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1
type1:pri=50 \-> /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
.fi
This will add /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc as the first FPE with the attribute
'unscaled', second FPE will be /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi, also with
the attribute unscaled etc. This is functionally equivalent to setting
the following font path:
.nf
/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1,
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1,
/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript
