Load "type1"
In the "Module" Section:
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType"
FontPath "unix/:7100"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "GLcore"
Load "dbe"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "pex5"
Load "glx"
Load "pex5"
Load "record"
