I am asking because the way the Fencing talent is written, its says only main gauche, rapier and saber may be used.
It doesn't invalidate fencer. You just don't get the full benefits of the Fencer talent.

I have a ST 11 Fencer. He wields a saber and main gauche or a longbow. He does quite well. He also has tactics, physicker, and naturalist. He's been a good and well-rounded PC.

Does a Fencer with two Rapiers subtract -1 DX to be hit for the first one and then another -1 for the second one?

No, not even if he had two sabers.

I concur. The Fencer gets the Sword Expertise modifier -1 DX for an incoming hand weapon attack. It doesn't add another -1 DX for another fencing sword. The same is true for Sword Expertise. If you add Two Weapons Talent, you don't get another -1 DX for a second weapon.
