According to the documentation on www.xfree.org the Xft library shipped with this version of XFree uses fontconfig. Fontconfig is configured in the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file. My changes to XftConfig had no effect. Only changes to fonts.conf are effective. Can anyone confirm that ? In case the XftConfig file is not used for anything anymore then the XFree ebuild should be modified to install the file as XftConfig.obsolete or something like that. Existence of the file is very confusing to the user who is trying to configure fonts. I am going to report this problem to the maintainers of the XFree ebuild in case no one points out something I missed.
