/usr/share/fonts/X11 is a location known to Fontconfig.

Installing non-TTF fonts in a location known to Fontconfig gave me
sub-optimal font rendering in some parts of some programs.
In particular, I noticed that some pages in forefox were not anti-aliases
and some form boxes in firefox were not anti-aliased. Specific pages
affected were the (b)lfs books.
I noticed this because the default --with-fontrootdir=DIR in font-util
does not match the default --with-fontdir=FONTDIR in xorg-server,
and they are different than before.
fc-list can reveal unexpected fonts.
Setup this way worked best for me:
m...@lfs:/usr/share/fonts$ ls -l X11-TTF
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Mar 15 12:20 X11-TTF -> /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
