Thanks for your responses. Classification is a lot better in only the last 2 years or so, but still most companies have their own scheme.

dxmkfontdir
dxmkfontdir(1X) dxmkfontdir(1X)
Name
dxmkfontdir - Create a list of fonts for the X server.
Syntax
dxmkfontdir [directory-names]
Description
The dxmkfontdir command creates files that list font names and the font files to which the names correspond, for use when the X server
starts up. In each directory specified as a command argument, dxmkfontdir creates the directory's list of fonts and places it in a file
called fonts.dir. If you omit arguments, dxmkfontdir creates a fonts.dir file for the current directory.
The fonts.dir file lists each font file and gives the name of the font in that file. To obtain font names, dxmkfontdir searches the files
in the directory for a property named FONT. If the FONT property is absent, dxmkfontdir uses the names of PCF (.pcf), BDF (.bdf), and com-
pressed BDF (.bdf.Z) files, omitting their suffixes. If a font exists in multiple formats, the PCF format is used.
When the X server starts up, it looks for a fonts.dir file in each font directory in the font path. It also looks for a fonts.alias file
in each directory.
Font Aliases
You can create or edit the fonts.alias file to assign new names to existing fonts. X clients can then use the alias names to request fonts
from the server. A font alias file can be in one or any number of directories in the font path. It consists of two columns, separated by
white space. The first column lists aliases; the second column contains font name patterns. Aliases can reference fonts in directories
other than the one in which the alias file exists.
To embed white space in the alias name or the font name, enclose the name in quotation marks (""). To embed quotation marks (or any other
characters), precede them with a backslash (. The following are sample entries from a fonts.alias file:
courier10 fixed
/udir/sally/fonts/courier/10.pcf "-adobe-helvetica-bold-o-normal--
24-240-15-75-p-104-1508859-1"
If the fonts.alias file contains the string FILE_NAMES_ALIASES alone on a line, each file name in the directory (without its .pcf suffix)
is automatically translated as a font name alias. For example, a file named courier10.pcf would have the font name alias courier10.
