The thing about putting all the fonts in /usr/share/fonts is that it's
bad to have some bitmap fonts there. Like firefox using the adobe
bitmapped fonts when a page calls for Helvetica (I think that's from
Alexander). Here's one RedHat developer's take on why Fontconfig
shouldn't find all the bitmapped fonts:

If it's the helvetica fonts that is the problem then wouldn't the simple
solution be to install the adobe-{100,75}dpi fonts in
/usr/share/X11/fonts and all the others in /usr/share/fonts? That way we
keep support for international web pages and banish the helvetica fonts
where they can't cause any trouble.
