I don't where, from which programme, this statement comes from, you  
can determine the font path the X server uses by running

        xset q

Besides this a user side font management exists: libfontconfig.  
Commands like fc-list, fc-cache, or fc-match are related to this and  
files like fonts.conf. The X resource (Emacs.)FontBackend, which can  
have the values xft, ftx, or x, I think, sets the order by which GNU  
Emacs will check if the fonts system supplies the specified font. The  
font backends used can depend on the libraries found on the system.
