Interesting. It looks like the Font Configuration section should be fleshed out considerably. I'm going to add a few comments to #1770, but I'm gonna throw out this idea now. Fontconfig now scans the directory /etc/fonts/conf.d for files starting with 2 numbers and includes them in the configuration. Moving ahead from the info in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3322 and http://archives.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/blfs-dev/2005-December/012685.html, it seems like we could add some custom rules that would help locale coverage. (Alexander, I'm going to butcher this, but I just want to throw out the idea.) cat > /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-preferred.conf << "EOF" <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <!-- /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-preferred.conf file to configure preferred fonts --> <fontconfig> <alias> <family>serif</family> <prefer> <family>DejaVu Serif</family> </prefer> </alias> <alias> <family>sans-serif</family> <prefer> <family>DejaVu Sans</family> </prefer> </alias> <alias> <family>monospace</family> <prefer> <family>DejaVu Mono</family> </prefer> </alias> EOF I'm probably missing some important definitions there, but I just want to point that we can customize Fontconfig similar to Udev rules. There could be additional conf files that perform the tweaks mentioned by Alexander in the post from 2005-12. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
