X does have compiled in FontPath's. From the XF86Config man page:
When this entry is not specified in the config file, the server
falls back to the compiled-in default font path, which contains
the following font path elements:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/
I was playing with this the other day, and X started without xfs running
or any declared FontPath's.
