Hi Akira,

Sorry about the answer delay, I seem to have missed the notification.

You’re the boss fontconfig-side, just propose something better, it will be merged as is.

However, don’t expect packagers to rush changing existing packages, they will probably only take the new instructions into account for new packages.

If something like
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/issues/200

was added to fontconfig, the ordering would matter a lot less, because it would properly scope aliases and separate compatibility aliasing (in other font groups) from priority aliases (declared in the group dedicated to a specific family)

Thanks for the comment and sorry for not getting back earlier too. I'm still trying to catch up emails during my New Year vacation.

That's true. but that change would be helpful for new package. I'll try to think about this once I've finished catchups.

Sure. well, that need lots of changes. so I don't think we'll see that change soon though.

This issue has been migrated to Fedora Forge:

Please continue any further discussion there.
