This is expected. The bitmap font configuration is deliberately crippled
on the CD (i.e.: they are not installed at all).
You want to omit the following livecd-specific hacks:
1) sed -i -e 's,#ifdef KDRIVESERVER,#if 1,' dix/dixfonts.c
This allowed Xorg to take the "fixed" and "cursor" fonts directly from
libXfont.so instead of disk files
2) --with-default-font-path=built-ins on Xorg ./configure line
This told Xorg to default to this font pseudo-path containing the
"fixed" and "cursor" fonts from libXfont.so, instead of the font path
ccontaining the "normal" directories like /usr/lib/X11/fonts/{misc,100dpi}
3) Non-installation of bitmap font packages such as font-cursor-misc,
font-misc-misc and font-adobe-100dpi
Thanks for the information, Alex. I appreciate that. It will probably
save me from hours of investigations...
I was coming to something resembling a conclusion after going over the
Excuses file and looking at the EXTRA_FLAGS which weren't being set...
You never know, in a few days (weeks?) I might have a fully working
standalone Makefile just for building Xorg :-)
