Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: fontconfig-config
SUMMARY:
fontconfig-config's default configuration is broken.
This is in Hardy, fontconfig-config version 2.5.0-2ubuntu2.
DETAIL:
fontconfig-config installs configuration files under /etc/fonts/conf.d.
But all config files should be installed under /etc/fonts/conf.avail.
The conf.d dir should only contain symlinks to files under conf.avail.
These are the misplaced files:
/etc/fonts/conf.d/autohint.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/no-bitmaps.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/no-sub-pixel.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/sub-pixel.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/unhinted.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/yes-bitmaps.conf
Also note that this configuration is conflicting and confusing.
1.) We have no-bitmaps and at the same time yes-bitmaps. There should be
only a single symlink to either /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf
or /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf.
2.) We have sub-pixel and at the same time no-sub-pixel. There should be
only a single symlink to either /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-no-sub-pixel.conf
or /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf.
autohinted and hinted should also be symlinks to
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf and
/etc/fonts/conf.avial/10-unhinted.conf.
These errors seems to got introduced by Ubuntu's patches.
Debian's fontconfig-config 2.5.0-2 doesn't install non-symlink files under
/etc/fonts/conf.d.
Cheers and a happy New Year.
