The xorg "default font 'fixed'" problem [SOLVED]

I had a problem, that the xorg was unable to start because it couldn't find the "default font 'fixed'". I didn't find any solution here on archlinux forum when I was looking for it, except one, which didn't work (reinstall the whole xorg), so I've decided to write my solution for anybody else, who is also looking for it.

The problem in my system was the font directory has moved to /usr/share/fonts  from /usr/share/X11/fonts. The solution is pretty simple, you just have to change the font lines (descriptor FontPath) in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to contain the correct paths. And that's all folks :-)  .



I apologize if this info was viewed during the xorg upgrade, probably I didn't recognize it.
