If I simply place fonts in a subdirectory under /etc/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, and 
run SuSEconfig, the fonts are not loaded when the KDM is loaded.  If I add 
the new path to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, they will load.  The problem with 
modifying the /etc/X11/xorg.conf is that it has a 
corresponding /etc/X11/xorg.conf.md5 which means YaST wants to control the 
file.

When I copy the fonts to ~/.fonts, and add the following to the ~/.fonts.conf:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <dir>~/.fonts/wri/4.1/truetype</dir>
  <dir>~/.fonts/wri/4.1/Type1</dir>
</fontconfig>

X still fails to load the fonts.  Putting the fonts in 
/usr/share/fonts/wri/4.1/truetype 
/usr/share/fonts/wri/4.1/Type1
likewise fails.  I would rather not edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  Is there an 
alternative?
