Thanks for the tip. Currently I was using symlinks into ~/.fonts, but I think
this method is cleaner.

By the way, you don't need to restrict to lmodern, you can include eg all of

/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/fonts/type1

(and so on for texmf-local if necessary) in order to make all your TeX fonts
visible to fontconfig.
