bitmap fonts can be turned off in new fontconfig
Some bitmap fonts are desired however. The ability to turn them
off, would mean we either include them all by default, giving users
some problems (someone has already confirmed that their fonts changed
when enabling fontconfig across all X fonts), or disable them all
by default, meaning bitmap fonts aren't available for terminals,
and terminal-like programs.
Not an optimal solution IMHO.
If we put all of the fonts into /usr/share/fonts, then fontconfig
will see all of them now, and this might cause you to get a different
font than you expected for a given name, whereas fontconfig would
not have seen them all before.
They can also be blacklisted in new fontconfig
Blacklisted on a directory by directory basis, or file by file?
How do the blacklists get maintained as new font files/dirs get
added?
