Great.

Yes - they appear on the link names in the /etc/X11/fontpath.d, along with
a priority number for setting the ordering:
% cd /etc/X11/fontpath.d/
% ls -l
total 90
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 Feb 18 2010 100dpi-ISO8859-1:pri=90 ->
../../../usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi-ISO8859-1/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 Feb 18 2010
100dpi-ISO8859-1:unscaled:pri=20 ->
../../../usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi-ISO8859-1/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Feb 18 2010 100dpi-ISO8859-10:pri=91
-> ../../../usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi-ISO8859-10/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Feb 18 2010
100dpi-ISO8859-10:unscaled:pri=21 ->
../../../usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi-ISO8859-10/
[... many more since the X11R7 fonts support many more encodings than the ones
we had in Solaris 10 ...]
So on Solaris 11, the scaled vs. unscaled is already taken care of - but for
Solaris 10, it appears we still need to fix the default font path to do that.
