The priority number of fontconfig config files in packages is
hardcoded at this moment. this requires huge works to update,
particularly when changing default fonts say (even though it won't so
often happens but still when fixing config files and updating for huge
packages etc). so I'm pondering to manage the priority in centralized
package and determine it at runtime, allowing users to have own
ordering.
Just some inputs.
As an end user finding himself customizing fontconf files system wide on many machines, it would be very interesting to see how this will make setting font preferences simple.
Right now I mostly do the following:
1. rename 57 99 /etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu*
2. vim /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf #And set preferred serif/sans-serif/monospace fonts
3. # Observe that some other fonts are still preferred by doing `fc-match sans-serif`
4. # Either rename such fonts fontconf files as in step 1, or modify their ‘<prefer>’ tag to ‘<default>’
5. # Rinse and repeat
I don't have any implementations for this but just to share an idea with you.
Please let me know if you have any concerns on it.
