Trying to have fonts in a consistent location, such as seen on other
systems. Also, share/fonts seems better named that lib/X11/fonts -- in
some cases, the fonts could be reused by various software without X11.

The TTF fonts installed from pkgsrc are not all in lib/X11/fonts/TTF.

We have packages installing fonts (and TTF fonts) all over.

Currently, I have truetype fonts in X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/,
lib/cinelerra/fonts/, lib/X11/fonts, OpenOffice.org1.1.2/share/fonts/,
share/tuxpaint/fonts, and other locations.

My goal is to be able to add fonts (via installing packages) -- and be
able to use immediately (or at least easier) because of fontconfig (for
software that uses it).
