Bug Description

Server-side fonts are (apparently unintentionally) broken in Jaunty. This is due to:

  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=385943e0e97463ce4681a9b6a4a40d7e3c91e51e

"1. X server doesn't pick a good default font path so it's easiest just to built in the core fonts and let new X hackers more happy. Developers and distro guys are wise enough to just set --disable-builtin-fonts when they want."

Since we set a default font path, let's be "wise enough" and set --disable-builtin-fonts, then! Patch attached.
