POST-INSTALL After upgrading fontconfig, always run rejmerge and upgrade /etc/fonts/fonts.conf and /etc/fonts/fonts.dtd. /etc/fonts/conf.avail ships with configuration snippets that can be symlinked from /etc/fonts/conf.d to enable them. It's recommended to use these snippets instead of duplicating XML code in your /etc/fonts/local.conf. For more information on conf.avail/conf.d, please see: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/plain/conf.d/README For more information on fontconfig, please see: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html
