defoma and its font path

[T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com>]

Hi, 

It's been generations since I last play with X and defoma. 
Is defoma still the recommended way of configuring TrueType fonts?
I noticed that defoma's font path is not in my Xorg. Is there any modern 
way to "slip" it in without touching the xorg.conf, using xorg.conf.d 
perhaps? 

Thanks
