That gets me weird stuff too:

bart@example.com:~$ find /etc -name fonts.conf
find: /etc/ppp/peers: Permission denied
find: /etc/chatscripts: Permission denied
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf
bart@example.com:~$ sudo
amigaone:/home/bart# find /etc -name fonts.conf
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf
amigaone:/home/bart#

X.font          afms         fonts.cache-1  groff.font  truetype 
urw-urw.font adobe-urw.font  debian.font  fonts.dir      tex.font 
type1 for the former.  Everything with "font" in its name is a file; the 
other three are directories.

For the /local/ option:
amigaone:/home/bart# ls -l /usr/local/share/fonts
total 0
-rw-r--r--  1 root staff 0 Jul 10 16:37 fonts.cache-1

I'm not totally sure what/where the X11 directories are.  I tried
# ls /etc/X11 | grep fonts.cache
and got nothing.  But
# ls /etc/X11 | grep font
got me

fonts

and
# ls /etc/X11/fonts

brought up

100dpi  75dpi  Speedo  Type1  misc

Am I on the right track?
