(BYes, it is already there in the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
(Bfrom XFree86 CVS. But it is included rather close to
(Bthe top of fonts.conf and followed by many rules.
(BI experimented a bit and it appears to me, that I cannot
(Boverride these rules by anything I write into ~/.fonts.conf
(Bbecause the rule which comes last always wins.
(B
(BTo make it possible to override as much as possible of
(Bthe global settings in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf with user
(Bpreferences in ~/.fonts.conf, it seems to be better
(Bto put the line
(B
(B <include ignore_missing="yes">~/.fonts.conf</include>
(B
(Bat the end of /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.
(B
(BObviously rules which depend on special settings in ~/.fonts.conf
(Bmust follow below the line
(B
(B <include ignore_missing="yes">~/.fonts.conf</include>
(B
(Bfor example Keith's trick with "prefer_outlines".
(B
(BBut I couldn't find a reason to put anything else below this line,
(Btherefore I wondered why it isn't already close to the bottom in
(BXFree86 CVS and whether that should be changed.
(B
(BOr am I overlooking something?
