I'm only seeing the default fonts.  None of the custom, non-X11 fonts  
(I've converted the /Library/Fonts *.dfont's into *.ttf's so that I  
can use fonts like Apple Chancery, Zapfino, etc in X11 programs, plus  
I have some Adobe .otf fonts in /Library/Fonts that also don't show up  
[Garamond Premier Pro for example]).

If I copy the /usr/X11/lib/X11/fontconfig/fonts.conf to /usr/X11/lib/ 
X11/fonts/fonts.conf, then all these show up in fc-list and are  
available to gimp, etc.

I do not have a custom ~/.fonts.conf.  However, making one that's a  
copy of the one in fontconfig doesn't work.
