-*** IMPORTANT ***
-
-Recently, fontconfig changed to not include bitmapped fonts in the
-default font set. There is now a Debconf question about this.
-
-If you wish to enable bitmapped fonts manually, either reconfigure this
-package (with dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig), or remove the
-symbolic link /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-debconf-no-bitmaps.conf
-
-*****************

-
-How fonts are handled in Debian:
---------------------------------
-
-Fontconfig is a library which handles font configuration and access at
-the system level. It is the foundation for a new font handling in X
-applications (but can also be useful without X).
-
-Applications not using fontconfig are accessing their fonts through
-the X server. Font packages for these applications are named xfonts-*.
-You can also use TrueType fonts with these applications if you install
-the x-ttcidfont-conf package, which connects the X server to defoma:
-fonts included in ttf-* packages or added manually using dfontmgr can
-then be used in these programs.
-A few of these applications, using Xft1, can benefit of antialiasing
-with vector fonts, but it is deprecated.
-
-The new font renderer in XFree86 is called freetype2, and applications
-using it access fonts on the client side. Most of them (including all
-GTK2/GNOME2 and KDE3 applications) do it using fontconfig, which
-provides listing and matching facilities for all fonts installed on the
-system. Any font installed in /usr/share/fonts or ~/.fonts will be
-accessible to these applications. This is now also true for fonts added
-using defoma.
-These programs can all benefit from antialiasing, autohinting and
-sub-pixel rendering. You can configure it through fontconfig, using
-debconf (dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig), or by changing
-links in /etc/fonts/conf.d by hand.
