Description of problem: In /etc/fonts/fonts.conf on "Font directory list" one can find: ... <dir>/usr/share/X11/fonts/OTF</dir> ... but there is no such directory on a system. OTOH we have /usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF and which is not on that list although /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1 does show up. Is all of that correct and/or desired? Confused! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fontconfig-2.3.93-2
/usr/share/X11/fonts/OTF will be there if you install xorg-x11-fonts-syriac.
