Not sure what "non standard" is exactly (fonts have never been an area
that I've paid much attention to before). Here is the font section from
'xset q'. Also, below that is the output of all installed packages which 
mention 'font'.

Font Path:
  /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,
  /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,
  /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/


su-2.05b# pkg_info | grep "font"
XFree86-font100dpi-4.2.0 XFree86-4 bitmap 100 dpi fonts
XFree86-font75dpi-4.2.0 XFree86-4 bitmap 75 dpi fonts
XFree86-fontCyrillic-4.2.0_4 XFree86-4 Cyrillic Fonts
XFree86-fontDefaultBitmaps-4.2.0 XFree86-4 default bitmap fonts
XFree86-fontEncodings-4.2.0 XFree86-4 font encoding files
XFree86-fontScalable-4.2.0 XFree86-4 Scalable font files
Xft-2.0_1           A client-sided font API for X applications
