# Chapter 7. Tips and Tricks

# 7.1. Fonts

I found that several distributions don't know how to set the FontPath right and which fonts to install in order to get great fonts under X11. I can't help you gather great fonts for X11, but I can show you what my FontPath in /etc/XF86Config looks like -- this will help you getting better results for xemacs as well as kcalc:

     Section "Files"
        RgbPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
        FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
        FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
        FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
        FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
        FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
        FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
        FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
        FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
        FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
