Really?  That's odd.  I don't think the built-ins element shouldn't trigger a message like that, and interestingly, built-ins is *forced* into the default font path if it isn't already.  Take a look at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/dix/dixfonts.c

Furthermore, I really don't see how "built-ins" is landing in the list we hand to xset.  Take a look at /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/10-fontdir.sh(*).  built-ins is not in the list that we hand to xset, and I don't see why there should be 17 elements.  Are you doing something special with your font path in a custom file in ~/.xinitrc.d or /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d?

I tried adding built-ins in a call to xset and didn't see a problem:

$ xset fp= "/opt/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/opt/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/,/opt/X11/lib/X11/fonts/OTF,/opt/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/opt/X11/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/opt/X11/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,/opt/X11/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/opt/X11/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,built-ins"
