I've followed all of the instructions I could find everywhere, and I still 
can't get TrueType fonts to work. Here's what I've done:

1) Copied .ttf files into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Truetype

2) Ran ttmkfdir > fonts.dir from within that directory.

3) Ensured the following lines are in my /etc/X11/XF86Config file:

	Load "freetype"
	FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Truetype/"

Even with all of the above, I still get the following in my XFree86.0.log 
file:

	(II) LoadModule: "freetype"
	(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libfreetype.a
	(II) Module freetype: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
		compiled for 4.1.0, module version = 1.1.9
		Module class: XFree86 Font Renderer
		ABI class: XFree86 Font Renderer, version 0.2
	(II) Loading font FreeType
	...
	Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Truetype/, 
removing from list!

I have already made sure the font files are NOT in Macintosh format and that 
my fonts.dir does actually exist and contains valid data. Any help would be 
appreciated.
