Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &fontconfig-md5sum; Download size: &fontconfig-size; Estimated disk space required: &fontconfig-buildsize; Estimated build time: &fontconfig-time; The numbering system of Fontconfig is unusual. The beta versions of the package are numbered with a 9x in the last portion of the release number. This means that 2.3.90 is a beta release and the most current release is of the form 2.3.1 and If you have DocBook-utils installed, you must also have : SGMLSpm-1.03ii installed also, or the Fontconfig build will fail. Install Fontconfig by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-docs && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install --disable-docs: This switch avoids building the documentation. If you wish to build the documentation using DocBook-utils, you may need to remove the OpenSP catalog definitions from the system SGML catalogs. Use the following command before building the package to accomplish this: sed -i.orig \ -e "/CATALOG \/etc\/sgml\/OpenSP-1.5.1.cat/d" \ /etc/sgml/catalog \ /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook.cat /etc/fonts/* and /etc/fonts/conf.d/* /etc/fonts/* /etc/fonts/conf.d/* The configuration file for Fontconfig is /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. Generally you do not want to edit this file. To put a new font directory in the configuration, create (or update) the /etc/fonts/local.conf file with your local information. The default location of fonts in Fontconfig is: /usr/share/fonts ~/.fonts /usr/share/fonts ~/.fonts X also includes an internal (and older) version of Fontconfig and unless it is explicitly disabled when building Xorg or XFree86, the internal version is created leaving two slightly incompatible libraries on your system. It is recommended that you only install one version.
