This is a Linux/i386 binary port of the Fontconfig library and utilities.
In the words of its author, Keith Packard:
Fontconfig can:
* discover new fonts when installed automatically, removing a common
source of configuration problems.
* perform font name substitution, so that appropriate alternative
fonts can be selected if fonts are missing.
* identify the set of fonts required to completely cover a set of
languages.
* have GUI configuration tools built as it uses an XML-based
configuration file (though with autodiscovery, we believe this need
is minimized).
* efficiently and quickly find the fonts you need among the set of
fonts you have installed, even if you have installed thousands of
fonts, while minimzing memory usage.
* be used in concert with the X Render Extension and FreeType to
implement high quality, anti-aliased and subpixel rendered text on a
display.
