Both reading the code and testing on my system confirm that /etc/fonts is used as a prefix for non-absolute filenames in an <include> statement. Not sure why it isnt' working for you. |
Description of problem: The configuration file "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf" references the "local.conf" file for additional configuration information, but does so without specifying a pathname. Thus, fontconfig is unable to locate the file and the resulting net effect is that any changes made to "/etc/fonts/local.conf" are ignored. I have fixed this by editing "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf" and modying the following lines: <!-- Load local system customization file --> <include ignore_missing="yes">local.conf</include> to look like this: <!-- Load local system customization file --> <include ignore_missing="yes">/etc/fonts/local.conf</include> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fontconfig-2.2.1-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure fontconfig-2.2.1-4 is installed. 2. Take a look at "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf" and make sure the file "local.conf" is specified with no associated pathname. 3. Make a change to "/etc/fonts/local.conf" 4. Restart X 5. The changes won't have any effect until you perform the modification described above. Actual results: Modifications to "/etc/fonts/local.conf" are ignored due to a missing pathname. Expected results: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf" should reference "local.conf" by using an absolute pathname.
