Each file in this directory is a fontconfig configuration file. Fontconfig
scans this directory, loading all files of the form [0-9][0-9]*.conf.
These files are normally installed in @TEMPLATEDIR@
and then symlinked here, allowing them to be easily installed and then
enabled/disabled by adjusting the symlinks.
The files are loaded in numeric order, the structure of the configuration
has led to the following conventions in usage:
Files begining with: Contain:
00 through 09 Font directories
10 through 19 system rendering defaults (AA, etc)
20 through 29 font rendering options
30 through 39 family substitution
40 through 49 generic identification, map family->generic
50 through 59 alternate config file loading
60 through 69 generic aliases, map generic->family
70 through 79 select font (adjust which fonts are available)
80 through 89 match target="scan" (modify scanned patterns)
90 through 99 font synthesis
If you are using fontconfig-infinality-ultimate from the infinality-bundle
collection, templates are located in /e/rtvc100-64/share/fontconfig/conf.avail.infinality and they
are symlinked here instead. Besides, there are three more subdirectories
located in the main template directory, each containing collection-specific
fontconfig configuration files:
/e/rtvc100-64/share/fontconfig/conf.avail.infinality/combi - for a custom, user-compiled collection
/e/rtvc100-64/share/fontconfig/conf.avail.infinality/free - for the free font collection, available in the
infinality-bundle-fonts repository (default in
Arch Linux)
/e/rtvc100-64/share/fontconfig/conf.avail.infinality/ms - for the proprietary font collection available
with Microsoft Windows and Office software
(not freely available)
Symbolic links in conf.d to all five *.conf files from one of either combi,
free or ms need to be created in order for default aliases and font
substitution rules to work properly.
The stock fontconfig template directory and configuration files are still
available for compatibility reasons and should not be removed.
