fontconfig, xftconfig, xf86config... I'm lost :-(

[Dominique Deleris <dominique.deleris@bluewin.ch>]

Hello there,

I've dist-upgraded my Sarge box today, and I see that fontconfig
has been installed. I've heard of it before, but I'd like to know
how it will interact withe my previously existing fonts
installation.

Here it goes:

In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
=========================
	FontPath     "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/"
	FontPath     "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
	FontPath     "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
	FontPath     "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
	FontPath     "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
	FontPath     "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"

In /etc/X11/XftConfig:
======================
dir "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/"
dir "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"

Is it true that fontconfig will only be used by GTK2 apps?

Should I put all my TrueType fonts in /usr/share/fonts/truetype?

Thanks for your help!
