/*
Configuration files are linked to /etc/fonts/conf.d/
This module generates a package containing configuration files and link it in /etc/fonts.
Fontconfig reads files in folder name / file name order, so the number prepended to the configuration file name decide the order of parsing.
Low number means high priority.
NOTE: Please take extreme care when adjusting the default settings of this module.
People care a lot, and I mean A LOT, about their font rendering, and you will be
The Person That Broke It if it changes in a way people don't like.
See prior art:
