The problem that I'm specifically seeing is actually related to the new setup where /etc/fonts/local.conf is removed by the fontconfig package (or at least renamed), and replaced by /etc/fonts/conf.d.
With this new setup installed by fontconfig 2.3.1-2, my ~/.fonts.conf doesn't always seem to override the settings in /etc/fonts/conf.d. Specifically, if I do "dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig" to enable bitmapped fonts, the file 30-debconf-yes-bitmaps.conf is created in /etc/fonts/conf.d as a link to yes-bitmaps.conf. fc-list will report bitmapped fonts as expected. However, if I do "cp /etc/fonts/conf.d/no-bitmaps.conf ~/.fonts.conf", fc-list still returns bitmapped fonts, even though my ~/.fonts.conf is supposed to reject them. However, the reverse works (assume I've deleted my ~/.fonts.conf file): If I run "dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig" to disable bitmapped fonts, a link to no-bitmaps.conf is created in /etc/fonts/conf.d as 30-debconf-no-bitmaps.conf. fc-list then returns no bitmapped fonts, as expected. Then if I copy /etc/fonts/conf.d/yes-bitmaps.conf to ~/.fonts.conf, fc-list will then return bitmapped fonts, as it should. Is this actually a pilot error -- am I doing something wrong given the above description?
