This doesn't sound quite right.  The first two directories in 
font.conf should be:

	<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
	<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
	
On Linux, this should basically cover it since these directories are 
searched recursively for any directories containing fonts.  You 
shouldn't need to add the subdirectories of the above two directories.

I said these should be there since it screwed up royally last time I 
upgraded and I had to edit it to get it back to the above.
