Hello Jeremy!

This newly compiled version in MacPorts shows errors from new xkbcomp,  
which is not fatal. Then xinit reports:

	Notice xinit: XFree86_VT property unexpectedly has 0 items instead of 1

Xrdb is executed, until xinit reports:

	Notice /opt/local/bin/xset:  bad font path element (#8), possible  
causes are:
	Notice     Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
	Notice     Directory missing fonts.dir
	Notice     Incorrect font server address or syntax

Then my init scripts are executed, 11-fontpath.sh, 12-TeX-fontpath.sh,  
50-clients.sh, and 99-blackbox.sh. One version of GNU Emacs complains  
about missing charsets, which should be fatal. Next follows:

	Notice     xinit: connection to X server lost
	Notice     waiting for X server to shut down
	Notice     Quitting Xquartz
	Notice     Connection lost to X server `:0.0'

System.log has additionally:

	Nov  3 00:59:32 Latsche com.apple.launchd[1]  
(org.macports.privileged_startx[26988]): Stray process with PGID equal  
to this dead job: PID 27180 PPID 26994 fc-cache
	Nov  3 00:59:32 Latsche com.apple.launchd[1]  
(org.macports.privileged_startx[26988]): Stray process with PGID equal  
to this dead job: PID 26994 PPID 1 bash

Previously, with xorg-server-devel @1.9.1_0, all was fine. It *was*,  
because it now shows the same error. Commenting all Emacs clients does  
not change anything, blackboxwm crashes. So it must be some library  
which was installed recently...

Font path should be initially:

	/opt/local/share/fonts/misc/,/opt/local/share/fonts/TTF/,/opt/local/ 
share/fonts/OTF/,/opt/local/share/fonts/Type1/,/opt/local/share/fonts/ 
100dpi/,/opt/local/share/fonts/75dpi/,/Library/Fonts,/System/Library/ 
Fonts,built-ins

then

	/sw/lib/X11/fonts/naga10/,/sw/lib/X11/fonts/applettf/,/usr/X11/share/ 
fonts/local/,/Library/Fonts/Extrafonts/,/Library/Fonts/PostScript 3/

and finally

	/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/inconsolata,/ 
usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/arkandis/libris,/usr/ 
local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/hoekwater/lmextra,/usr/ 
local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/public/Asana-Math,/usr/ 
local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/public/belleek,/usr/local/ 
texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/public/itrans,/usr/local/ 
texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/public/junicode

are added.
