unusual. The beta versions of the package are numbered with a 9x in the

Though this parameter seems counter-intuitive following the preceding

parameter to the <command>configure</command> command, it is used so that

if the builder removes the <parameter>--disable-docs</parameter> parameter,

the documentation will be installed in a versioned directory name instead

<title>Configuration Information</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The main configuration file for <application>Fontconfig</application>
|
|
is <filename>/etc/fonts/fonts.conf</filename>. Generally you do not want
|
|
to edit this file. It will also read <filename>/etc/fonts/local.conf</filename>
|
|
and any files in <filename class='directory'>/etc/fonts/conf.d</filename>.
|
|
To put a new font directory in the configuration, create
|
|
(or update) the <filename>/etc/fonts/local.conf</filename> file with your
|
|
local information or add a new file in
|
|
<filename class='directory'>/etc/fonts/conf.d</filename>. The default
|
|
location of fonts in <application>Fontconfig</application> is:</para>

|
<para>~/.fonts</para>
|

</listitem>

</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para><application>Fontconfig</application> also ships many example
|
|
configuration files in the <filename
|
|
class='directory'>/etc/fonts/conf.avail</filename> directory. Symlinking
|
|
to specific files from <filename class='directory'>/etc/fonts/conf.d</filename>
|
|
will enable them. The default setup is generally good enough for most
|
|
users. See <filename>/etc/fonts/conf.avail/README</filename> for a
|
|
description of the configuration files.</para>
