See the section 3.4.2. Fonts in the release notes. http://fedorapeople.org/groups/docs/release-notes/en-US/sect-Release_Notes-Changes_for_Desktop.html#idm7119376 I don't have any plans to migrate them to the new place automatically, because there may be one who share the home directory on some machines where might have older version of fontconfig. Maybe the second line from those release notes could be added to the warning message. So it would print something like: Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. Users are encouraged to move it to ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf. (That's not the greatest English in the world, but you see what I mean.) In 2.10.91, the recommended path has been commented in 50-user.conf and if old paths are a symlink to new one, fontconfig won't warn about it anymore. I think it should be enough for this issue. *** Bug 910749 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** on the users-list some minutes ago there came a post that this still exists in Fedora 19 [harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ rpm -q --file /etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf fontconfig-2.10.2-2.fc18.x86_64 so you have two options * patch out this stupid warning * mark "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf" as "confignoreplace" to not *permently* overwrite the by the enduser fixed one with any update it's objectionable everytime you open a application from a terminal spit all sorts of warnings This issue should be improved a lot in 2.11.0. I'm planning to push that for f18 and f19 later once some testing is done in f20 and rawhide. just FYI thank you! This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. This issue is still present in Fedora 20. (In reply to Grégoire Paris from comment #9) > This issue is still present in Fedora 20. If it still happens, that would means you have the certain reason that fontconfig couldn't migrate the old config files to new one. e.g. you already have one in both places, the permissions messed up to create/move directories and/or files, etc. I'm not trying to shut it up completely, but trying it reasonably.

I'll check both directories. Is there any way I can run/debug the migration script ?

Is there any way I can run/debug the migration > script ? Oh and by the way, I did not migrate fedora from 19 to 20 (I lacked the disk space to do the migration), so I installed a brand new fedora, but I kept my old /home partition. Do you think your point is still valid ? Here are the results some commands I ran : > ls -la |grep .fonts > drwxrwxr-x. 3 greg greg 4096 3 août 2013 .fonts > lrwxrwxrwx. 1 greg greg 40 21 déc. 13:48 .fonts.conf -> /home/greg/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf > drwxrwxr-x. 2 greg greg 4096 3 août 2013 .fonts.conf.d > ls -lR .fonts.conf > lrwxrwxrwx. 1 greg greg 40 21 déc. 13:48 .fonts.conf -> /home/greg/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf > ls -lR .fonts.conf.d > .fonts.conf.d: > total 4 > -rw-rw-r--. 1 greg greg 1755 3 août 2013 10-powerline-symbols.conf > ls -l ~/.config | grep fontconfig > drwxr-xr-x. 3 greg greg 4096 21 déc. 13:48 fontconfig > ls -lR ~/.config/fontconfig > /home/greg/.config/fontconfig: > total 8 > drwxr-xr-x. 2 greg greg 4096 3 août 2013 conf.d > -rw-rw-r--. 1 greg greg 530 5 avril 2011 fonts.conf > /home/greg/.config/fontconfig/conf.d: > total 4 > -rw-r--r--. 1 greg greg 1755 3 août 2013 10-powerline-symbols.conf As you can see, permissions look good, but I have a config file for powerline fonts both in ~/.fonts.conf.d and in ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d . What do I need to do ? Remove the file in ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d and run the migration script ? And if yes, again, how can I run the migration script ? (In reply to Grégoire Paris from comment #11) > I'll check both directories. Is there any way I can run/debug the migration > script ? Well, it will happens at the runtime in fontconfig library. no scripts, but anyway.

Do you think your point is still valid ? So, yes. (In reply to Grégoire Paris from comment #13) > Here are the results some commands I ran : > > > ls -la |grep .fonts > > drwxrwxr-x. 3 greg greg 4096 3 août 2013 .fonts > > lrwxrwxrwx. 1 greg greg 40 21 déc. 13:48 .fonts.conf -> /home/greg/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf This is good and means the migration has been done once. > > drwxrwxr-x. 2 greg greg 4096 3 août 2013 .fonts.conf.d but this looks bad and the reason why you still see this warning. I guess you've restored your old configuration once the migration completed. > > /home/greg/.config/fontconfig/conf.d: > > total 4 > > -rw-r--r--. 1 greg greg 1755 3 août 2013 10-powerline-symbols.conf In fact you have the same files in both new and old places. > As you can see, permissions look good, but I have a config file for > powerline fonts both in ~/.fonts.conf.d and in ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d . > What do I need to do ? Remove the file in ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d and > run the migration script ? And if yes, again, how can I run the migration > script ? So, if you want to do this automatically, you could simply remove .config/fontconfig/conf.d. or you can remove .fonts.conf.d and create a symlink to .config/fontconfig/conf.d will do the same thing. Looks like it worked :
> ls -la |grep .fonts
> drwxrwxr-x. 3 greg greg 4096 3 août 2013 .fonts
> lrwxrwxrwx. 1 greg greg 40 21 déc. 13:48 .fonts.conf -> /home/greg/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
> lrwxrwxrwx. 1 greg greg 36 6 févr. 19:33 .fonts.conf.d -> /home/greg/.config/fontconfig/conf.d
Many thanks!

Description of problem: Running appes such as gvim under KDE results in a warning to STDERR like this: Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fontconfig-2.10.2-1.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run "gvim" Actual results: Warning Expected results: No warning Additional info: I don't know if it's relevant that I use KDE as a desktop environment and that this error comes up with gvim, but that's where I specifically noticed it.
