following up my own post with new results:

apparently it's not enabled by default. rc.sysconfig has changed
from test3, adding "rhgb" to the kernel arguments in grub.conf will
enable it.

apparently, this can be solved by running fc-cache as root. maybe some
older fontconfig cache that hung around was messing things up. if it
doesn't work, poking the font paths before running it (I added
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF</dir> to the local.conf in /etc/fonts)
might have an effect. maybe it's also loading the lucida fonts from
there? (don't know what exactly Sans and Monospace are aliases for...
the XML files for font configuration are a bit confusing to me.)
