+Common-Description:
+ Fontconfig is a library for configuring and customizing font access.
+ .
+ Fontconfig can:
+ .
+ * discover new fonts when installed automatically, removing a common source
+ of configuration problems.
+ * perform font name substitution, so that appropriate alternative fonts can
+ be selected if fonts are missing.
+ * identify the set of fonts required to completely cover a set of languages.
+ * have GUI configuration tools built as it uses an XML-based configuration
+ file (though with autodiscovery, we believe this need is minimized).
+ * efficiently and quickly find the fonts you need among the set of fonts you
+ have installed, even if you have installed thousands of fonts, while
+ minimzing memory usage.
+ * be used in concert with the X Render Extension and FreeType to implement
+ high quality, anti-aliased and subpixel rendered text on a display.
+ .
+ Fontconfig does not:
+ .
+ * render the fonts themselves (this is left to FreeType or other rendering
+ mechanisms)
+ * depend on the X Window System in any fashion, so that printer only
+ applications do not have such dependencies
