206 <para>
207 The main configuration file for <application>Fontconfig</application> is
208 <filename>/etc/fonts/fonts.conf</filename>. Generally you do not want
209 to edit this file. It will also read <filename>/etc/fonts/local.conf</filename>
210 and any files in <filename class="directory">/etc/fonts/conf.d</filename>.
211 To put a new font directory in the configuration, create
212 (or update) the <filename>/etc/fonts/local.conf</filename> file with your
213 local information or add a new file in
214 <filename class="directory">/etc/fonts/conf.d</filename>. The default
215 location of fonts in <application>Fontconfig</application> is:

232 <application>Fontconfig</application> also ships many example

234 <filename class="directory">/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail</filename>
235 directory. Symlinking specific files to
236 <filename class="directory">/etc/fonts/conf.d</filename>
237 will enable them. The default setup is generally good enough for
238 most users. See <filename>/etc/fonts/conf.d/README</filename>
