Another rock to look under would be true type fonts (ttf).


https://askubuntu.com/questions/149864/how-to-configure-x11-to-find-a-font-as-requested-by-a-proprietary-binary

Fonts are found via a path.  Some errors can be eliminated by making copies
to a $HOME/.myfonts and
adding a path for X11 or the build so they are found.  As long at they
render OK life is good.
ftp://www.x.org/pub/X11R6.8.1/doc/fonts2.html

Recall that fonts often have a copyright that can grate against the GPL
rules and
as such may not be included.  Thus they must be pulled in special perhaps
from a
repo with them added the same as drivers for some devices are managed.
