I'd be a bit careful with Cyberbit. I know machines are a lot beefier
than they used to be, but having a single TTF of 23MB in memory isn't
going to do anyting for your font rendering speed. Proofing a page in
Cyberbit once locked up my Sun Ultra 10 for five minutes.

The output from 'xset q' might be more useful, as would looking through
/etc/fonts/local.conf. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ looks the same to
me, too, but I also have /usr/share/fonts/corefonts (MS Core Fonts;
which don't have CJKV, being WGL4) and /usr/share/fonts/ttf-gentium (SIL
Gentium, an attempt to do a true and complete Unicode font for free).

cheers,
