IIRC, this directory is used as the first location (but not the only one!) to
search for fonts.  Directories under /usr/X11R6 are always searched (as seen
in the configuration file):

        <dir>/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
        <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF</dir>
        <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</dir>
        <dir>~/.fonts</dir>

Maybe those entries should be more generic and list lib/X11/fonts (without TTF
and Type1) so that all of them are picked up.

I guess that fonts will be installed there if you install packages providing
fonts on a xpkgwedge'd system (at least this is what should happen).  So if
you don't tell fontconfig to add that directory to the configuration file, it
won't ever know about these fonts.
