I notice that whenever I startx, I get this error message before it fire up:

Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID, removing from
list!

When I inspect that directory, I have

fonts.dir
fonts.scale

and nothing else. When I look inside each of those files, I see only the the
number 0. Am I supposed to have fonts in that directory?

well, let's inspect MANIFEST.bz:

drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2004-04-13 16:28:32 usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2004-04-13 16:24:51 usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2 2004-04-13 16:24:51 usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/fonts.scale
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2 2004-04-13 16:24:51 usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/fonts.dir
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2004-04-13 16:28:32 usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/

nope, i guess not.
