Hi, Just as a reference - in another similar feature request [1], Doug Newgard mentioned that not everyone agrees on removing fontconfig and/or xorg-mkfontscale. I believe the following two mails in the mentioned arch-dev-public thread are most relevant: [2][3]. Having said that, I agrees on removing fontconfig & xorg-mkfontscale.
