I don't see a good way to avoid the side effects except being careful with font
aliasing. And the aliasing can not be adjusted before fonts are actually there.

But the fonts (at least all the otf and ttf ones) need to move to
/usr/share/fonts/something since people (and apps) now expect this location,
even though all of them have not realized yet what fontconfig is. All kind of
apps poke in /usr/share/fonts directly nowadays without using system
fontconfig. If you look at font questions on stackoverflow the standard answer
now is to put fonts there, not to run xfs like people answered just a few years
ago.

spot has the right transitional answer, though determining when to get rid of
the compat symlinks is going to be tricky.
