to disable antialiasing for specific fonts.
By default, most applications use the font names sans-serif (or the equivalent
sans), serif, or monospace. These are not real fonts but only aliases that are re-
solved to a suitable font, depending on the language setting.
Users can easily add rules to ~/.fonts.conf to resolve these aliases to their favorite
fonts:
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>FreeSans</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>FreeSerif</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<prefer>
<family>FreeMono</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
Because nearly all applications use these aliases by default, this affects almost the entire
system. Thus, you can easily use your favorite fonts almost everywhere without having
to modify the font settings in the individual applications.
Use the command fc-list to find out which fonts are installed and available for use.

the available scalable fonts (:scalable=true) contain all glyphs required for Hebrew
(:lang=he), their font names (family), their style (style), their weight (weight),
and the name of the files containing the fonts, enter the following command:
