+Each file in this directory is a fontconfig configuration file. Fontconfig
+scans this directory, loading all files of the form [0-9][0-9]*.conf.
+These files are normally installed in ../conf.avail and then symlinked here,
+allowing them to be easily installed and then enabled/disabled by adjusting
+the symlinks.
+
+The files are loaded in numeric order, the structure of the configuration
+has led to the following conventions in usage:
+
+ Files begining with: Contain:
+
+ 00 through 09 Font directories
+ 10 through 19 system rendering defaults (AA, etc)
+ 20 through 29 font rendering options
+ 30 through 39 family substitution
+ 40 through 49 generic identification, map family->generic
+ 50 through 59 alternate config file loading
+ 60 through 69 generic aliases, map generic->family
+ 70 through 79 select font (adjust which fonts are available)
+ 80 through 89 match target="scan" (modify scanned patterns)
+ 90 through 99 font synthesis
