# fonts-conf(5) (https://man.archlinux.org/man/fonts-conf.5), "FILES": the

# per-user configuration is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf with the

# per-user directory $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/conf.d, and the older

# ~/.fonts.conf and ~/.fonts.conf.d beside them — the man page marks both of

# the latter deprecated: "~/.fonts.conf is deprecated now. it will not be read

# by default in the future version". Both shapes are listed, since a machine

# set up years ago still has the dotted one and fontconfig still reads it.

# fontconfig implements XDG itself rather than following a platform

# convention, so the XDG root is right on macOS too: a Homebrew fontconfig on

# a Mac reads ~/.config/fontconfig, not ~/Library.

# Font aliases and rendering preferences. Nothing here is a credential.

secret = []

# No machine_lines: a user's fonts.conf is aliases, rendering settings

# (hinting, antialias, rgba) and match rules, all of which are the preferences

# they want everywhere. <dir> elements do name absolute paths, but the ones

# people write are $HOME-relative or system font directories that exist on

# every machine of that platform, and marking the element would strip a font

# path far more often than it would strip a machine-specific one.

Opens otty://sync/add/fontconfig. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these is generated from the same rules as this page.
