\abstract
The Fontconfig library provides for central administration and configuration
of fonts in a POSIX system. All font consumers can share a common database
of fonts and use common matching rules for font names. The set of available
fonts can be configured for each user and a set of configurable matching
rules allow for customizing the selection of fonts and configuring various
parameters related to rasterizing of those fonts for display in a variety of
media. The Fontconfig library is designed to co-exist peacefully with
existing font configuration and rasterization mechanisms; while it uses the
FreeType library to discover characteristics of available fonts, there
is no requirement to use FreeType for rasterization.
