Upon starting applications in a terminal (e.g., rekonq, qgit4), I get the following warning: Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. I have media-libs/fontconfig-2.10.92 installed. (I get other fontconfig warnings and errors later, and a 'fontonfig' directory created in ~, but they may result from the first, so I'd like to fix that first.) I found https://nowardev.wordpress.com/2013/02/02/fontconfig-warning-etcfontsconf-d50-user-conf-line-9-reading-configurations-from-fonts-conf-is-deprecated/ but that doesn't solve the problem. (Also, I don't have '.fonts.conf' in ~.) Reproducible: Always
> /etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf Please try `eselect fontconfig disable 50-user.conf` and let us know if it works.
(In reply to Tom Wijsman (TomWij) from comment #1) > > Please try `eselect fontconfig disable 50-user.conf` and let us know if it > works. I did # eselect fontconfig disable 50-user.conf and the warning went away; for other warnings/errors I encountered, I had to do # eselect fontconfig disable 10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf to get rid of them. If those two fontconfig configuration files are not important in some sense, this bug can be closed, I guess.
Yes, they plan to remove it in the near future; from that file: <!-- the following elements will be removed in the future --> <include ignore_missing="yes" deprecated="yes">~/.fonts.conf.d</include> <include ignore_missing="yes" deprecated="yes">~/.fonts.conf</include> The new locations to store settings appear to be: $HOME/.config/fontconfig/conf.d $HOME/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
