To add directories to search for fonts, append lines such as the following:
<dir>/usr/local/share/fonts/</dir>
However, this is usually not necessary. By default, the user-specific directory ~/.fonts
is already entered in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. Accordingly, all you need to do
to install additional fonts is to copy them to ~/.fonts.
You can also insert rules that influence the appearance of the fonts. For example, enter
<match target="font">
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
to disable antialiasing for all fonts or
<match target="font">
<test name="family">
<string>Luxi Mono</string>
<string>Luxi Sans</string>
</test>
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
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:
