[SOLVED] Remove uneeded configuration files from fontconfig

I prefer to have full hinting instead of slight hinting. So I have removed the symlink /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf and created the symlingk

10-hinting-full.conf -> ../conf.avail/10-hinting-full.conf

The problem is that fontconfig will recreate /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf  at each update. Is there a solution to this? The problem is that the symlink 10-hinting-slight.conf is owned by the fontconfig package.

Add 10-hinting-slight.conf to the NoExtract list in pacman.conf

@fijit Yes that's a good idea. Didn't thought about this pacman option.
