I don't know whether the configuration layout is the same on Gentoo,
but on my systems the key thing in order for fontconfig to work
is to create and customize this file:

[1] cat /etc/fonts/local.conf
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<dir>/home/local/share/ttfonts</dir>
</fontconfig>
