kibi@kathleen:/etc/fonts/conf.d$ ls -l 70-no-bitmaps.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Aug 14 21:11 70-no-bitmaps.conf ->
../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf
Well, there's your problem.
Obviously, you manually changed the symlink "70-no-bitmaps.conf" to
point to another file "../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf". However,
the symlinks are expected to point to files of the same name in the
../conf.avail directory.
The fontconfig-config.config script checks for the presence of these
symlinks and interprets them according to the meaning of their file
name. So the presence of the symlink called "70-no-bitmaps.conf" -
regardless of the name or content of the file it points to - suggests
fontconfig that you do not want bitmap fonts enabled.
I think this is reasonable behaviour. Had you cared to rename the
symlink to "70-yes-bitmaps.conf" then the repeated configuration of
fontconfig-config would have turned out as you expected.
So, IMHO, this is not a release-critical bug but merely the result of
misconfiguration by the user.
Best Regards,
Fabian
