Actually, this is probably better handled the way you said in your other
message:
mkdir ~/local-fonts
ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/* ~/local-fonts
rm ~/local-fonts/fonts.alias
cp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias ~/local-fonts
vi ~/local-fonts/fonts.alias
xset +fp ~/local-fonts
Only that begs the question, what's the appropriate place to run xset? The
fontpath gets reset when you logout. Should it be set in ~/.xsession?
Nevertheless, I'd still like to know how you'd make a change to the default
fonts.alias permanent between upgrades, in case you wanted "fixed" font to be
cyrillicised for the whole system, for instance. Is it possible?
