Right now, we install a pile of configuration examples to /etc/fonts/conf.d. I don't think that's a good plan. There are two obvious alternatives -- the first is to just stick them in /usr/share/doc/fontconfig/examples and let people pull the ones they want into /etc/fonts/conf.d. That would allow us to ship a lot more examples and catagorize them as appropriate. It would, however, make it harder for us to maintain those configuration files and update them in future releases. The second alternative is to stick them in /etc/fonts/conf.available and then let people symlink the desired ones into conf.d. Both of these approaches would let us prescribe suitable numeric prefixes for the filenames, something the current system lacks. And, both would let us catagorize the examples by function. Perhaps a mix of the two approaches where the 'officially supported' snippets live in /etc/fonts and the 'examples' snippets live in /usr/share/doc/fontconfig/exmaples? -- keith.packard@xxxxxxxxx
