Well, in the Type1 section we are teaching the reader in the same way. 
So this is why I included that.

Oh.. It would be better:

To tell the X Server that these fonts exist, add an appropriate line 
to the XF86Config file (in /etc/ for XFree86 version 3, or in /etc/X11/ 
for version 4), which reads.............

Does is sound better?
