xlsfonts could see the B&H fonts, but Nautilus with fonts:/// could not,
so they were still there. It turned out to indeed be fontconfig's fault.
The new version took out several directories from the font search path.
The bottom line is that I put the following line in
/etc/fonts/local.conf:

<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi</dir>

Then I ``fc-cache -fv'', ``rcxfs restart'', and re-logged in (which on
my system, always restarts X). I don't know which combination of these
three steps are needed for certain, but I got my precious
Lucidatypewriter fonts back. (And now I know how to get them back if
someone tries to take them away again! <g>)

Thanks for the hints,
