Well, let me clarify.  This the font directory list in the rc4  
fonts.conf file in /usr/X11/lib/X11/fontconfig/ (/usr/X11/etc/...  
doesn't exist in rc4):

<!-- Font directory list -->

         <dir>/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
         <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
         <dir>~/.fonts</dir>

The X11R6 directory has been there for quite a while, but in reality  
only means the fonts potentially are scanned twice.  I had assumed  
this was intentional and what you were expecting people to find in the  
file.
