I didn't find any bug reporting tool on Google for Fontconfig so I thought this would be the best place to report it. In the file fonts.conf, the .fonts.conf and local.conf lines that import these 2 external files are inverted. Thus, the following: <!-- Load per-user customization file --> <include ignore_missing="yes">~/.fonts.conf</include> <!-- Load local system customization file --> <include ignore_missing="yes">conf.d</include> <include ignore_missing="yes">local.conf</include> Should read instead: <!-- Load local system customization file --> <include ignore_missing="yes">conf.d</include> <include ignore_missing="yes">local.conf</include> <!-- Load per-user customization file --> <include ignore_missing="yes">~/.fonts.conf</include> This way, the user fontconfig file would have priority over the system-wide configuration. As a side note, you could incorporate these enhancements into fontconfig: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208396 Many people have asked for it on the Internet, and these configurations don't affect regular fonts rendering so that everybody's happy :) Cheers, -- Charles A.
