[SOLVED] Xorg 1.8 Warnings

Hey all,

This isn't a huge issue, as everything is working fine (afaik), but after upgrading to Xorg1.8, i started getting the following warning when starting X:

[   797.336] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF/" does not exist.

If anyone has come up with a way to silence this warning, I'd love to hear it. I have an irrational hatred for warnings... even when they don't do anything.

BTW, I tried simply creating the directory /usr/share/fonts/OTF, and X then complained that the directory was not valid.

I installed then uninstalled this AUR package:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23740

Now I have the /usr/share/fonts/OTF/ directory with two files inside fonts.dir and fonts.scale, and no more warning in the Xorg log.

I created the directory then ran mkfontdir from the terminal inside the directory and the error went away.

This worked! Thanks everyone.
