/* 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.
