User Notes: Install Fontconfig by running the following commands: sed -e '/FC_CHAR_WIDTH/s/CHAR_WIDTH/CHARWIDTH/' \ -e '/FC_CHARWIDTH/a #define FC_CHAR_WIDTH FC_CHARWIDTH' \ -i fontconfig/fontconfig.h && sed 's/CHAR_WIDTH/CHARWIDTH/' -i src/fcobjs.h && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --disable-docs \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/fontconfig-&fontconfig-version; && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install If you did not remove the --disable-docs parameter from the configure command, you can install the pre-generated documentation by using the following commands as the root user: install -v -dm755 \ /usr/share/{man/man{3,5},doc/fontconfig-&fontconfig-version;/fontconfig-devel} && install -v -m644 fc-*/*.1 /usr/share/man/man1 && install -v -m644 doc/*.3 /usr/share/man/man3 && install -v -m644 doc/fonts-conf.5 /usr/share/man/man5 && install -v -m644 doc/fontconfig-devel/* \ /usr/share/doc/fontconfig-&fontconfig-version;/fontconfig-devel && install -v -m644 doc/*.{pdf,sgml,txt,html} \ /usr/share/doc/fontconfig-&fontconfig-version; sed ...: Fix a conflict in names caused by changes to a glibc-2.25 header file. --disable-docs: This switch avoids building the documentation (the release tarball includes pre-generated documentation). /etc/fonts/*, /etc/fonts/conf.d/* and /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/* /etc/fonts/* /etc/fonts/conf.d/* /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/* The main configuration file for Fontconfig is /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. Generally you do not want to edit this file. It will also read /etc/fonts/local.conf and any files in /etc/fonts/conf.d. To put a new font directory in the configuration, create (or update) the /etc/fonts/local.conf file with your local information or add a new file in /etc/fonts/conf.d. The default location of fonts in Fontconfig is: /usr/share/fonts ~/.local/share/fonts ~/.fonts (this is now deprecated, but for the moment it still works) Fontconfig also ships many example configuration files in the /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail directory. Symlinking specific files to /etc/fonts/conf.d will enable them. The default setup is generally good enough for most users. See /etc/fonts/conf.d/README for a description of the configuration files. /usr/share/fonts ~/.fonts More information about configuring Fontconfig can be found in the user's manual in Installed Programs Installed Library Installed Directories fc-cache, fc-cat, fc-list, fc-match, fc-pattern, fc-query, fc-scan and fc-validate libfontconfig.so /etc/fonts, /usr/include/fontconfig, /usr/share/doc/fontconfig-&fontconfig-version;, /usr/share/fontconfig, /usr/share/xml/fontconfig and /var/cache/fontconfig Short Descriptions fc-cache is used to create font information caches. fc-cache fc-cat is used to read font information caches. fc-cat fc-list is used to create font lists. fc-list fc-match is used to match available fonts, or find fonts that match a given pattern. fc-match fc-pattern is used to parse pattern (empty pattern by default) and show the parsed result. fc-pattern fc-query is used to query fonts files and print resulting patterns. fc-query fc-scan is used to scan font files and directories, and print resulting patterns. fc-scan fc-validate is used to validate font files. fc-validate libfontconfig.so contains functions used by the Fontconfig programs and also by other programs to configure or customize font access. libfontconfig.so
