<para>The numbering system of <application>Fontconfig</application> is
unusual. The beta versions of the package are numbered with a 9x in the last
portion of the release number. This means that 2.3.90 is a beta release and
the most current release is of the form &fontconfig-version;</para>

<title>Configuration Information</title>
<para>The configuration file for <application>Fontconfig</application> is
<filename>/etc/fonts/fonts.conf</filename>. Generally you do not want to edit
this file. To put a new font directory in the configuration, create (or
update) the <filename>/etc/fonts/local.conf</filename> file with your local
information. The default location of fonts in
<application>Fontconfig</application> is:</para>

<note>
<para><application>X</application> also includes an internal (and
older) version of <application>Fontconfig</application> and unless it is
explicitly disabled when building <application>Xorg</application> or
<application>XFree86</application>, the internal version is created leaving
two slightly incompatible libraries on your system. It is recommended that
you only install one version.</para>
