On fontconfig/GNU/Linux, font file locations are specified by
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf and configuration files included by it. See “man
fonts-conf” for details.
On my system (Ubuntu 16.04), the list goes like this:
* /usr/share/fonts (system-provided)
* /usr/local/share/fonts (locally administered system-wide)
* $XDG_DATA_HOME/fonts (user-specific)
* ~/.fonts (deprecated user-specific)
I don’t see a description of what happens when different versions of
the same font are available, but I’d expect user-specific to override
local and system, and local to override system.
