Two sections of that file are identical to your listing above.

I'm guessing you mean local.conf.  (My "find" doesn't recognize "etc" by 
the way).  /etc/fonts/local.conf says this:

<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
 <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
 <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
 <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
 <dir>/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc</dir>
 <dir>/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi</dir>
 <dir>/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi</dir>
 <dir>/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</dir>
 <dir>/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo</dir>
</fontconfig>

Tried:

bart@example.com:~$ fc-list sans
bart@example.com:~$

bart@example.com:~$ fc-list serif
bart@example.com:~$ fc-list sans-serif
bart@example.com:~$

Something wrong with my fc-list (-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 10428 Mar 24 
2005 /usr/bin/fc-list) or what?
