Adding those settings to the default configuration (and after fixing bug #731724) will get the Debian font aspect on par with Ubuntu and that should be great. But I want to point out that adding such .conf files in conf.avail should be done in the right manner. The above code is how Ubuntu wrote their additional .conf files, but it's wrong as I reported to them in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1192175 Vincent Bernat wrote (20 Oct 2012 11:16:33 GMT) : >I also think that the defaut configuration is quite ugly compared to >other distributions.
