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.
