895b4579f0 tuning fontconfig - mention WOFF fonts.
To stop people thinking that every website's choice of font can be
easily overridden (firefox can do that, not sure about other
browsers).

This is about halfway through the commits from my initial private
branch.

fe9d1b1db9 tuning fontconfig - update 45-latin.conf :
Explain what 'latin' means in this context.

Detail all the font types mapped there.

Mention that 49-sansserif is where an unrecognized font is assumed
to be Sans.

dcfb8627e5 Typo - 50-latin should be 60-latin.
Even in old fontconfig before 2.14.

This has been wrong since I created the page in 2017.

Just trying to check that the branch is set up correctly.

24975c4f00 Fix and simplify 'Prefer Chosen CJK fonts' :
I had a setup like this on one of my machines, now that I'm
looking at the detail of fontconfig in a local branch I discovered
that there were certain problems with the example:

1. I'm in an en locale, for pages that do not specify a locale
(or in vim/view, e.g. in mutt) the Japanese fonts were being
preferred.

2. Fontconfig does not consider UMing suitable for zh-sc so it
was hardly ever used - and it does not really belong in local.conf.

3, Really prefer a Japanese font for Sans Serif and monospace, but
no point listing two of them.

3. Comment where WenQuanYi Zen Hei is regarded as adequate and
therefore do not include it in these preferences, since it will
be picked up after them.

06ec28b752 Tuning fontconfig - add a note about changed defaults.
This is a holding operation, it appears that e.g. arabic scripts
may need further tuning to suit a user's preference.

85580446b2 Remove spaces at the end of lines
I know it is somewhat useless, but I don't like them for
two reasons: first they cannot be seen, and I do not like things I
cannot see. Second, git highlights them, and this is disturbing...
