a couple days ago, after the problematic fontconfig update was already done, i installed a new instance of arch no a separate partitionl (via pacman -r / chroot, from my existing, updated arch instance).
now i'm surprised to find that the files under /etc/fonts/conf.d/ aren't symlinks, but real files again -- and pacman doesn't complain...how comes?
(this install has [testing] enabled, if that makes a difference.)
SORRY, FORGET IT. just checked again, and the file manager i was using in the new installation somehow didn't show that these are actually links. now, checking from the environment i'm used to (KDE), i see that everything under /etc/fonts/conf.d/ are symlinks, as expected... sorry for the noise... -- phani.
