It wasn't a cooker issue - it was a typo issue. He had dor "[path]" in 
XftConfig. not dir.

Brings me to a question though - what's the point of XftConfig? To slow down 
the system? Without dir specified for the newly installed fonts I can use 
them just the same in my apps but they don't hang my system every time I load 
an app.
