DR, as usual, "You are correct, sir."

	But after having gone through the steps at
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_Font_Configuration, it was just as
easy to "kill two birds with one stone" and include that at step 3 so the font

should probably included an (**Optional) notice for step 3 since X will start
anyway without it ;-)
