Yeah, they aren't particularly well standardised. I don't think it
matters much which you use.

Uh, no. I'll elaborate the options a bit more:

You add the symlinks now and then not worry about the fontconfig stuff
at all. Xorg will probably get your fonts when #539338 is fixed, the
patch needs testing/checking though, not sure if it follows symlinks.

OR

Install all your fonts to /usr/share/fonts instead of the current paths
and then not worry about the fontconfig stuff at all. Xorg will get your
fonts when #539338 is fixed.

OR

File a bug on fontconfig to get your font paths added to its
configuration and triggers. Also file a bug on Xorg to get your font
paths added to the default FontPath. The latter is needed to get your
fonts into Xorg during the period where it doesn't support fontconfig,
which will be quite a while.
