No it's not. Why? Because of these three little words: Network shared /home The current fontconfig design makes it impossible to conveniently configure user-private settings that take into account the host device its used on. > Any suggestions are always welcome if you have any idea. Yes: Don't retrieve the setting from a static file. Instead determine the exact values at runtime. User preferences for hinting style and filters may depend on the actual display device used. Adding new host/display specific rules to fonts.conf is IMHO barking up the wrong tree, since this will never match everybody's needs. Instead retrieve the settings from a runtime variable. I'd suggest something managed by the display system, i.e. a root window property or similar. This detaches mechanism (font rasterization configuration) from policy (setting store / runtime determination).
