> Section "Files" > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" > EndSection Levi Bard
