A small XftConfig would look something like this

dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType"

#
# alias 'fixed' for 'mono'
#
match any family == "fixed"             edit family =+ "mono";

#
# Check users config file
#
includeif       "~/.xftconfig"

#
# Use Lucidux fonts for default faces
#
match any family == "serif"             edit family += "LuciduxSerif";
match any family == "sans"              edit family += "LuciduxSans";
match any family == "mono"              edit family += "LuciduxMono";
