In particular, the current practice of only including files starting with a digit should be removed. Also, lets clean up the configs as much as possible. Breaking down fonts.conf into separate files is good. We also patch the default config to add lots of aliases. Attaching. Ideally we want to break this down to something per-language or -script, like for example the fonts-persian.conf file is currently doing. Separating all Indic stuff for example. We also have a 40-blacklist-fonts for blacklisting some fonts that FreeType cannot handle correctly, and 50-no-hint-fonts for disabling hinting and embedded bitmaps on our Indic and a couple other fonts. Another config file I have in Fedora is for making DejaVu Sans LGC an alias for DejaVu Sans, and turning off hinting for DejaVu in small sizes (like we do for Vera). These can go upstream too I guess. Attaching that too. There's a lot of interest to work on consolidating distro configs and merge back upstream. That can follow these changes I believe. Finally, I like to suggest we start providing two more generic families that are in CSS but currently not fontconfig: cursive and fantasy. For cursive, URW Chancery L can be aliased. I'm sure there is a font to map fantasy to too. This is needed for proper support of these in Firefox. -- behdad http://behdad.org/
