Hello, are other tags with attributes supported? This is the code I need to add:
<fontconfig> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="antialias"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="embeddedbitmap"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="hinting"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="autohint"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle"> <const>hintslight</const> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter"> <const>lcddefault</const> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="rgba"> <const>rgb</const> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> Thank you -------- Original Message -------- On Feb 19, 2025, 16:09, Nils Landt wrote: >> Oleander via hat am 17.02.2025 17:08 CET geschrieben: > > > Hello, > is it >> possible to define my own fonts.conf file with a Guix home service or to >> prevent Guix from creating the ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf symlink?
