The problem is that x11perf asks for:

charter:antialias=true:rgba=0:pixelsize=10
charter:antialias=true:rgba=0:pixelsize=24
etc

and fontconfig calls the t1 font 'bitstream charter'.

Adding this bit to fonts.conf or ~/.fonts.conf will force the use of
the t1 version rather than the bitmap version:

        <match target="pattern">
                <test qual="any" name="family">
                        <string>charter</string>
                </test>
                <edit name="family" mode="assign">
                        <string>bitstream charter</string>
                </edit>
        </match>

The takes my x11perf -aa24text numbers down from the order of
1.5 M reps/s to the order of 11 k reps/s.  OTOH, if I tell it to
use a ttf font rather than a t1 font, I get OTOO 14 k reps/s.
An (Adobe-style) otf font results in 12 k reps/s.

So, (glyf) ttf fonts are rendered fastest in the test, followed by
(cff ) otf fonts and pfb/pfa type1 fonts a bit slower than that.
