Fontconfig configuration file ordering
Fontconfig parses files in /etc/fonts/conf.d/ by filename order. The following
conventions are used to attibute the appropriate prefix to new files:
┌────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Prefix │ Description │
├────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 50 │ User override │
│ 51 │ Local system overrides │
│ 55-59 │ High priority LGC (Latin Greek Cyrillic) fonts │
│ │ (distribution general-purpose default fonts) │
│ 60 │ Main LGC font list │
│ 61-64 │ Low priority LGC fonts │
│ 65-69 │ Fonts with less common encodings, ending with fonts that provide │
│ │ coverage of exotic unicode blocks at the expense of drawing │
│ │ quality │
└────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Fontconfig uses an inverted priority scheme where files with lower-number
prefixes take precedence over files with higher-number prefixes.
It is almost always safe to use high numbers in the prefix range your font
belongs to, if you do not want to perturb distribution defaults.
