In the XFree86 on GNU/Linux system, fonts are usually located in `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/'
Each directoryes under `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/' always have two files named `fonts.alias' and `fonts.dir'
`fonts.dir' maps the real font name to font filename. `fonts.alias' maps the alias name to the real font name.
So try to look at the every `fonts.alias'
Following command may help you find the location of every alias file.
$ find /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ -iname 'fonts.alias' -print
