X can't start because of font, but it's not in the config

When I try startx, I get the following error:

Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/Type1, remove from list!

However, /usr/share/fonts/Type1 isn't in my fonts list:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Layout0"
    Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "Files"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
    FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
    FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
EndSection

Section "Module"
    Load "xtrap"
    Load "dbe"
    Load "extmod"
    Load "freetype"
    Load "glx"
EndSection

Where is Type1 being loaded?

---Edit---
Oops, meant to put this in Desktop Environment forum. Could a mod move it, please?

I think Type1 loading is hardcoded into Xorg. That's not a "lethal" error don't worry about it.
If it bothers you so much try installing "xorg-fonts-type1"
