Fontconfig - Aug 2012 - reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.

I find the warning in the Subject line pretty annoying.  Can we please remove
it?

You can get rid of it after removing the attribute, deprecated="yes"
from <include> in /etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf though, I''d
obsolete
reading $HOME/.fonts.conf in the future. I have no idea to notice the
transition without it. if you have any suggestion for that, that would
be nice.

Thanks,

Hi..

I think just moving those files may be a cleaner/intended solution than
editing the default config files which are distributed with every new
version of fontconfig.

So just move your config from the deprecated location to the new xdg
location..

mv ~/.fonts.conf.d ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/fontconfig/fonts.conf
mv ~/.fonts.conf   ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/fontconfig/conf.d

where XDG_CONFIG_HOME is by default $HOME/.config
(http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html)
and results in:

mv ~/.fonts.conf.d ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
mv ~/.fonts.conf   ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d

After moving the files, the warning should be gone (at least if you are
using fontconfig >= 2.10)

bye marius..

There may be some requirements to share them in the different version
of fontconfig perhaps. I don''t know.

You mean:

mv ~/.fonts.conf.d ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/fontconfig/conf.d
mv ~/.fonts.conf ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/fontconfig/fonts.conf
> mv ~/.fonts.conf.d ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf

Ditto.
