Alternatively, make a copy of /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/58-suse-post-user.conf, and sort the heirarchies in the order you'd prefer. http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/57-post-user.conf has the order I prefer, where you can see I knocked Consolas down to #8. That file I put in/etc/fonts/conf.d/. On this particular 13.1 installation, I've symlink'd /etc/fonts/conf.d/57-post-user.conf to both 55-post-user.conf and 58-post-user.conf rather than spending the time to figure out which number its filename ought to start with to achieve the desired system-wide results, which here, is thus:
# fc-match monospace DroidSansMono.ttf: "Droid Sans Mono" "Regular"
If you have Consolas on your system and load http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/Font/fonts-face-samplesM.html in a browser you might be able to tell why I don't like it - it's smaller at most nominal sizes than most other monospace fonts. Whether any smaller at a given size, and how much, depends on pt-to-px ratio, which depends on browser engine and DE DPI.
Felix, Correct on all points. Yes, I looked at your fonts-face-samplesM.html (great job), and you understand why I say 'Yuk!' when FF and TB suddenly started showing all utf8 flagged charset plain-text messages in Consolas. My system has no: I do have a /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/57-local-post-user.conf which I suspect is what you are referring to. Yes, it has a much better default ordering. Thanks for pointing that method out. I withdraw the mandatory 'must' and substitute the permissive 'may' in its place :p The only reason I gravitated to /etc/fonts/local.conf (aside from it being the first solution tested), it also has the heading: <!-- /etc/fonts/local.conf file for local customizations --> Thanks! -- David C.
