Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.3.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: experimental

the problem may exists in unstable too.

in the postinstall script :
yes_bitmaps="yes_bitmaps.conf"
should be:
yes_bitmaps="yes-bitmaps.conf"

This lead to :
cat: /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-debconf-yes_bitmaps.conf: No such file
or directory

Sorry i did not check other bug reports in details. I guess it
explains some of them. 

In the manpage, I guess :
"If a directory, every  file  within  that directory  starting
  with a number will be processed in sorted order."
means that only the symlinks (that have a number ) are processed.
Else the symlinks would only inlcude the same data a second time
in fonts.conf.
But even with the above broken symlink i got bitmapped fonts ...
And the above explanation is mileading :

For a french native speaker at least this is a non obvious
statement : it would mean that every file in a directory are
processed and those starting with a number are processed in
sorted order. I feel i have a good understanding of english and
it seems to methis statement carry the same meaning in english.
This statement carry too much information : include can process
directories, only files starting with a number are processed,
they are in sorted order. 
In french (and most latin languages) adding a comma after
"processed" would be enough to fix this. In english i feel this
cannot be handled in one statement.

Is my english bogus or the  statement ? (i am not a linguist in
any way).
Could you split it if the former ?

Thanks
Alban
