    192       <para>Xft provides antialiased font rendering through
    193       <application>Freetype</application>, and fonts are controlled from the
    194       client side using <application>Fontconfig</application>.  The default
    195       search path is <filename class="directory">/usr/share/fonts</filename>
    196       and <filename class="directory">~/.fonts</filename>.
    197       <application>Fontconfig</application> searches directories in its
    198       path recursively and maintains a cache of the font characteristics in
    199       <filename>fonts.cache-1</filename> files in each directory.  If the cache
    200       appears to be out of date, it is ignored, and information is (slowly)
    201       fetched from the fonts themselves.  This cache
    202       can be regenerated using the <command>fc-cache</command> command at any
    203       time. You can see the list of fonts known by
    204       <application>Fontconfig</application> by running the command
    205       <command>fc-list</command>.</para>
    206 
    207       <para>If you've installed <application>Xorg</application> in any prefix
    208       other than <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, the
    209       <application>X</application> fonts were not installed in a
    210       location known to <application>Fontconfig</application>. This prevents
    211       <application>Fontconfig</application> from using the poorly rendered
    212       Type 1 fonts or the non-scalable bitmapped fonts. Symlinks were created
    213       from the <filename class="directory">OTF</filename> and <filename
    214       class="directory">TTF</filename> <application>X</application> font
    215       directories to <filename
    216       class="directory">/usr/share/fonts/X11-{OTF,TTF}</filename>. This allows
    217       <application>Fontconfig</application> to use the OpenType and TrueType
    218       fonts provided by <application>X</application> (which are scalable and
    219       of higher quality).</para>
    220 
    221       <para><application>Fontconfig</application> uses names such as
    222       "Monospace 12" to define fonts.  Applications generally use generic font
    223       names such as "Monospace", "Sans" and "Serif".
    224       <application>Fontconfig</application> resolves these names to a font that
    225       has all characters that cover the orthography of the language indicated
    226       by the locale settings.  Knowledge of these font names is included in
    227       <filename>/etc/fonts/fonts.conf</filename>. Fonts that are not listed
    228       in this file are still usable by <application>Fontconfig</application>,
    229       but they will not be accessible by the generic family names.</para>
    230 
    231       <para>Standard scalable fonts that come with <application>X</application>
    232       provide very poor Unicode coverage.  You may notice in applications that
    233       use <application>Xft</application> that some characters appear as a box
    234       with four binary digits inside.  In this case, a font set with the
    235       available glyphs has not been found.  Other times, applications that
    236       don't use other font families by default and don't accept substitutions
    237       from <application>Fontconfig</application> will display blank lines when
    238       the default font doesn't cover the orthography of the user's language.
    239       This happens, e.g., with <application>Fluxbox</application> in the
    240       ru_RU.KOI8-R locale.</para>
    241 
    242       <para>In order to provide greater Unicode coverage, it is recommended
    243       that you install these fonts:</para>

    316       number of fonts makes it <emphasis>much</emphasis> less convenient to
    317       select a specific font in a document, and most people will regard many
    318       of them as a waste of space. We used to recommend the <ulink
