This basic fontconfig template is sufficient for the needs of most fonts. It
Packit 46375d
includes two rules:
Packit 46375d
— the first one tells fontconfig it can use the font named [fontname] when an
Packit 46375d
application asks for the generic family [genericname].
Packit 46375d
— the second one tells fontconfig it can complete the font named [fontname]
Packit 46375d
with glyphs taken from fonts registered under [genericname].

It's the name under which the font appears in GUI font drop-downs.

Processing the resulting file through xmllint with the "format" flag is usually
Packit 46375d
a good idea.
Packit 46375d
$ xmllint --format -o [XX]-[fontname].conf [yourfile]
Packit 46375d
The output file will be named:
Packit 46375d
[XX]-[fontname].conf
Packit 46375d
where [XX] should be a two-digit number corresponding to the font priority in
Packit 46375d
fontconfig.
