Not 100% sure.

But /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/XDvi looks like a candidate for xdvi (strace
has to have some uses!).

You can override fonts at the command line of course "-font" (man X), or
merge your defaults with xrdb for old X apps.

But I'm confused, presumably these odd fonts overwrote (or took priority
over) existing font files in some way? I doubt they were a better match
for the declared fonts. What are you actually trying to do (Simon
thinking uninstall the new font files, and learn some more first ;)

 Simon, grateful it is a long time since he had to worry about which
fonts were available on which Xterms.
