Sorry to keep making different proposals, but I have a new idea.
* Install fontconfig with --without-add-fonts. This makes the defaults
/usr/share/fonts and ~/.fonts. These directories are searched
recursively, so later font configuation (say for DejaVu) could create
/usr/share/fonts/dejavu, etc.
* Let X install its' fonts to ${XORG_PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts
* As is already in the book, in the X Window System Components,
install /etc/fonts/local.conf with the location of the OTF TTF dirs.
The stock fonts.conf includes /etc/fonts/{conf.d/*,local.conf} and
~/.fonts.conf.
cat > /etc/fonts/local.conf << "EOF"
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/local.conf file for local customizations -->
<fontconfig>
<dir>[/usr]/lib/X11/fonts/TTF</dir>
<dir>[/usr]/lib/X11/fonts/OTF</dir>
</fontconfig>
EOF
with a note about replacing [/usr] with $XORG_PREFIX. Then
there's no moving of fonts or haggling with fonts.conf. Unless
we're planning on moving this whole TrueType fonts configuration
section somewhere else.
To make this even more pedantic, it could be called
/etc/fonts/conf.d/X11.conf or something.
