Ok, so optional enabled (opt-in) it will be. |

It's not the editing of config files that concerns me, it's the need |
| 26 |
to do so after every font installation, and keep it in sync with |
| 27 |
installation. |

What do you and Ryan think about naming the suggested file |
| 30 |
xorg.conf.d/90-font.conf.${suffix}, add :pri=50 to every line, |
| 31 |
so users who want it can symlink it to .conf to be loaded. |
| 32 |
With suffix:=all or gentoo-all-fonts |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
User edits in .conf.in could set other priorities. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Would that be ok? |
