Question

You are having problems with a particular font and you want to see if its directory is included in XF86Config. Which section contains this information?

Options

  • APaths
  • BFonts
  • CFiles
  • DGraphics

Explanation

The Files section within the XF86Config (or xorg.conf) file is responsible for defining the locations where the X server searches for fonts, modules, and other essential files.

Common mistakes.

  • A. While "Paths" sounds relevant, it's not the specific section name used in XF86Config for font directories.
  • B. "Fonts" is a general category but not the specific section name within the X server configuration file that defines font paths.
  • D. "Graphics" is too broad and does not specifically refer to the section for font path configuration in XF86Config.
