any kind of fonts that FreeType2 can handle. Preferably Truetype fonts.
I'd suggest you apt-get msttcorefonts.

This looks strange. Something like this seems more appropriate:

dir "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"

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

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

match any family == "sans"              edit family += "Verdana";
match any family == "serif"             edit family += "Times";
match any family == "mono"              edit family += "Courier";



Salut, Sven
