Bug 95551 – no manual page for fonts.conf

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Clock 2005-06-09 05:58:10 UTC]

/etc/fonts/fonts.conf lacks manual page (man fonts.conf). If the documentation is
somewhere else or the file is supposed to be self-documented, then a small
manpage pointing to the ultimate official documentation would suffice.

Reproducible: Always

I have read man man and it doesn't anything about the user should trying translating all dots in the name of looked for thing for dashes. Also there are lots of manpages with the dot, e. g. man cmb.conf
