Description:
As of X Server 1.20, the default font path is explicitly set to '/usr/share/fonts', whereas previously it was set automatically by the build system.
I suspect this configuration option was meant to set the fontrootdir that is now taken from the configuration variable in '/usr/lib/pkgconfig/fontutil.pc'.

Removing the '-D default_font_path=/usr/share/fonts' was enough to leave the font path autoconfigured by Meson.

Additional info:
xorg-server 1.20.0-1
xorg-font-util 1.3.1-1
This task depends upon

Thank you, the font paths are now listed in Xorg.0.log. Also, xterm and xlockmore can now find their default fonts.
Looks ok to me.
