Am I correct that the only way to convince a na?ve app to use different settings for things like locations of useable fonts, dpi, sub-pixel rendering, etc is to write a fonts.conf for it (which may include /etc/fonts/fonts.conf if desired) and run said app with FONTCONFIG_FILE pointing at said fonts.conf? -JimC
