I have recently been messing around with fonts, but am no expert.

Take at xfree86.org's documents.  There's a one entitled 'fonts in 
xfree86'.  It recommends ordering your font paths in XF86Config-4 with 
scalable fonts before bitmap fonts.  Xfree86 may perform 2 passes to 
match a font name.  The first for an exact match, the second for a 
best match.  Re-ordering you font paths will influence the font 
selected.
