This article or section needs language, wiki syntax or style improvements. See Help:Style for reference.

Reason: Article consists mainly of config dumps. (Discuss in Talk:Font Configuration/Chinese)

For configurations to be applied globally, edit `/etc/fonts/local.conf`. For user configurations, edit `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf`.
