Please note that since xorg-server 1.0.1-3 and xorg-clients 6.9.0-2 the rgb path has moved to /usr/share/X11 instead of /usr/lib/X11. Same goes for XKB.

What do you add to xorg.conf to set the XKB path then? Is it just 'XKBPath "/usr/share/X11"' under section 'Files'?

None of my fonts are being picked up by applications, despite having all the fonts packages installed, and the following paths in my xorg.conf:

Section "Files"
    RgbPath    "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/Cyrillic"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/encodings"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/local"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/util"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi"
EndSection

I'm aware that some apps will need to have their font paths manually changed, but even the terminal doesn't have the right fonts

This is my xorg.conf files section for xorg 7.0.

Section "Files"

    RgbPath    "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
#    FontPath   "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/local/"
#    FontPath   "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
#    FontPath   "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
#    FontPath   "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
#    FontPath   "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
#    FontPath   "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
#    FontPath   "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/"
#    FontPath   "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/freefont/"
#    FontPath   "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
#    FontPath   "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"

#The module search path.  The default path is shown here.

ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"

I dont think I understand your problem, XKB is used to set the keymaps when running X right?

Correct; the two problems aren't related, I just assumed that since JGC mentioned the XKB path, it was something I oughta put into xorg.conf .

jinn, do you mind doing pacman -Qs ttf and pacman -Qs xorg and posting the output?
