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.
