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.
