[opensuse] Font aliases (serif, san-serif, monospace) where to set default font face?
All, In the past, there was a fonts alias file where you could move the font you wanted as the default for each, serif, san-serif, and monospace to the first in the list of aliases for each of the generic types. The file used to be: /etc/fonts/suse-generic-names.conf where you had: <!-- Serif faces --> <alias> <family>Georgia</family> <family>Bell MT</family> <family>Thorndale AMT</family> <snip> <!-- Sans-serif faces --> <alias> <family>Trebuchet</family> <family>Segoe</family> <family>Andale Sans</family> <snip> <!-- Monospace faces --> <alias> <family>Fixed</family> <family>Cumberland AMT</family> <family>SUSE Sans Mono</family> <snip> It looks like that file is now: /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/58-suse-post-user.conf Is this the place to set the wanted default, or should we create some xyz.local file so it does not get overwritten? -- David C.

I copied the old /etc/fonts/suse-post-user.conf to /etc/fonts/conf.d/57-post-user.conf, but I don't think it's the only option. The Droids top my lists since I discovered them several years ago. The proportional DejaVus are too fat for my taste. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

My time's been here a long time. I get wide enough by getting tall enough, and forcing DPI up. :-p -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
