The file than says that the files in /etc/fonts/conf.d have to be read. They are read in the alphabetic order (it is documented). Each file contains some rules, it may contain a tree where the fonts reside. Fontconfig puts them to its cache unless the font with the same name is already there. Thus in my computer fonts in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local are seen before the TL fonts. Subdirectories within the same tree are searched in unpredictable order.
