The placement of the include of ~/.fonts.conf is intended to carefully allow overriding of all of the values in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. In particular, because aliases insert names directly ahead of the matching family, the sequence: sans-serif Arial ... sans-serif Nimbus Sans results in the family list Arial,Nimbus Sans,sans-serif As you see, in this case the users preferred font (arial) takes precedence over the system default. That's the bulk of the configuration below the include of ~/.fonts.conf. The only other rules below ~/.fonts.conf are to map PostScript families to TrueType "equivalents". Perhaps those should be moved above the include, I don't have a strong opinion. -keith ___ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts

It is based on your XF86Config file. In that file you set the font path or pointer to external font file Or a font server on the network. -- Atul -Original Message- From: James Richard Tyrer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 12:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Fonts] Re: where to include ~/.fonts.conf Mike FABIAN wrote: > James Richard Tyrer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> さんは書きました: > > >>Mike FABIAN wrote: >> >>>I wonder where in /etc/fonts.fonts.conf exactly is the best >>>place to put the include statement for ~/.fonts.conf. >>>It cannot be at the very end of /etc/fonts/fonts.conf because >>>then the following would not work: >> >>Put it at the end of the list starting with: >> >> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts > > > But if ~/.fonts.conf is included there (i.e. very early in > /etc/fonts/fonts.conf), it is not possible to override the rules from > /etc/fonts/fonts.conf in the personal ~/.font.conf file. > I appear to need more sleep as I have given the correct answer, but it sappers to be for the wrong question -- not the one which you asked.

It cannot be at the very end of /etc/fonts/fonts.conf because then the following would not work: Put it at the end of the list starting with: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts But if ~/.fonts.conf is included there (i.e. very early in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf), it is not possible to override the rules from /etc/fonts/fonts.conf in the personal ~/.font.conf file.
