Hrrrrm.

well, you have to add it to the "font path" somehow.

We have an existing standard for where to put "X resources" files, so we
should follow suit there.

http://www.opencsw.org/userguide/
mentions XFILESEARCHPATH=/opt/csw/lib/X11/%T/%N%C

so probably /opt/csw/lib/X11/fonts, as as copy of the sun
/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts or whatever it is.

However...
Although.... with the new "X header" packages, deploying under
/opt/csw/X11, perhaps it is time to change the location to
/opt/csw/X11/lib.

Please discuss :-)
