It's not large, fontconfig xml syntax is verbose so the resulting files are bulky, but for the average font you have three rules max (the generic associated to the font, in direct and reverse mapping, and the list of fonts this font can substitute for). Having the font packager identify those scales better than asking Akira to write rules for every single font we package in the fontconfig package itself (not to mention, that would require updating the fontconfig package on every user system every time a font is added to the distro). And when upstream is agreeable (many are not) the files are pushed upstream. Of course for huge font families split over lots of files the rules can get a lot more complex. There’s at most a handful of those in the distro.
