Whenever I run latex with anything other than the default font,

How do I discover what fonts latex can use
and the names and methods to invoke them?

Fedora provides many texlive and generic font packages.  Use <https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/> to choose
a suitable font.  LaTeX also has support for some common fonts that are widely available as linux packages.

Search lead me to fc-list, but it did not help.
It listed a bunch of files,
none of which were in the latex fonts directory.
If latex can use them, I know not how.
Yes, I did find the latex fonts directory,
but have no idea how to translate the file names into latex.

I want 14 point type, so I'm pretty sure I need a scalable font.

LaTeX support for outline fonts is robust.  It has been many years
since I used a bitmap font.  Some high quality outline fonts do
provide multiple sizes for better appearance than you can get
with scalable fonts.
