Fontconfig - Nov 2005 - dir tags

I think that dir tags are creating problems in fonts.conf:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102116

It should be in local.conf

I don''t agree.  If all dir tags are in local.conf, then fontconfig will
fail to work out of the box, since local.conf won''t be installed or
upgraded by fontconfig.

This ought to work in local.conf, I think, but currently doesn''t. 
I''m
going to try to make it work this morning.

<rejectfont>
  <glob>
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
  </glob>
</rejectfont>

Ok, so it took me longer than a morning, but I was sort of distracted 
today.  The correct syntax has no newlines:

<rejectfont>
   <glob>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</glob>
</rejectfont>

This works in the 2.4 branch.  It was broken in 2.3.2.

Keith says that we can''t remove the bitmapped fonts yet, as some users 
still need them, and we certainly can''t put all fonts in local.conf. 
However, since you can reject fonts in local.conf, this should meet your 
needs.
