X doesn't seem to read my custom config files. I set the font path in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-fontpaths.conf as follows
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/OTF"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
EndSection
and the file is world readable:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50-fontpaths.conf
The output of
xset q
doesn't show my custom path (/usr/share/fonts/OTF)
Font Path:
/usr/share/fonts/misc,/usr/share/fonts/TTF, (a few more ...
Why isn't it showing the OTF path? Please advise

Paste your Xorg log.

Paste your Xorg log.
The log says path does not exist even though it does. But I figured out that it wants to find the fonts.dir file immediately under the directory. My directory tree was /usr/share/fonts/OTF/adobe/fonts.dir, which caused the error since X did not find font.dir directly under the specified /usr/share/fonts/OTF. Changing the file to read
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/OTF/adobe"
fixed the problem.
Thank you.
