Fontconfig 2.10.1 update overwrites symlinks created by the former package
version. These symlinks need to be removed before any further update:

rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/20-unhint-small-vera.conf

rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/29-replace-bitmap-fonts.conf

rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf

rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/40-nonlatin.conf

rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/45-latin.conf

rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/49-sansserif.conf

rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf

rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf

rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf

rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/69-unifont.conf

rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/80-delicious.conf

rm /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
