No.  Fontconfig searches /usr/share/fonts.  We'd be installing in
/usr/share/X11/fonts.

Same as above.  The default fontconfig path is:
1. /usr/share/fonts
(if configure finds them and you haven't specified --without-add-fonts
or --with-add-fonts=/something/else)
  2. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
  3. /usr/X11/lib/X11
  4. /usr/lib/X11
(if you supplied any real directories to --with-add-fonts
  2. /dir1
  3. /dir2
  4. /dir3
  ...
5. ~/.fonts
