Yes, I'm top posting from my phone. No, there isn't much point in worrying about -Sy if the next thing you do is -Su. At some point we have to accept that no matter what we post, someone will complain that it was misleading, wrong, or otherwise kicked their cat.

I would simply recommend removing the offending files using rm, we certainly know the list.

News draft:
fontconfig 2.10.1 update - manual intervention required
Fontconfig 2.10.1 update overwrites symlinks created by the former package version. These symlinks need to be removed before any further update:
rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/20-unhint-small-vera.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/29-replace-bitmap-fonts.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-urw-aliases.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/40-nonlatin.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/45-latin.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/49-sansserif.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/51-local.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-nonlatin.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/69-unifont.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/80-delicious.conf rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/90-synthetic.conf pacman -Syu
Main systemwide configuration should be done by symlinks (especially for autohinting, sub-pixel and lcdfilter):
cd /etc/fonts/conf.d ln -s ../conf.avail/XX-foo.conf

I'd like to move it soon. It seems to work pretty solid. I only had to fix the dpi settings on my nvidia twinview desktop where small fonts suddenly were displayed a lot smaller and somehow ugly.

can the news article bechanged to say -Syu instead of now where it says -Sy fontconfig which we have always said was frowned upon if I remember correctly. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=802661#p802661 -- Daniel Wallace Archlinux Trusted User (gtmanfred) Georgia Institute of Technology
