Deleted my folder /etc/fonts/conf.d, get my symlinks back ? [SOLVED]

As said in the title, I did "rm *" by mistake in my /etc/fonts/conf.d folder, deleting all the symlinks inside of it.
Since then, my fonts are very weird (see the picture below, used imgur) and I looked everywhere if there was a way to make come back all the symlinks that were there.

I have reinstalled all my fonts, used the command "fc-cache" (which did nothing) and tried to see if the fonts.conf file could be manually launched, in vain.
I don't have any idea what to do, I don't find information specific to my situation on internet (a lot of people have troubles with the fonts.conf file) so if someone knows a way to create all the symlinks, he would be my savior !

Reinstalling https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … onfig/will restore the default configs, for anything you did locally, you'd require some backup.

Re: Deleted my folder /etc/fonts/conf.d, get my symlinks back ? [SOLVED]

I reinstalled fontconfig and rebooted. Unfortunately, it did nothing, except creating this readme file :

conf.d/README

Each file in this directory is a fontconfig configuration file.  Fontconfig
scans this directory, loading all files of the form [0-9][0-9]*.conf.
These files are normally installed in /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail
and then symlinked here, allowing them to be easily installed and then
enabled/disabled by adjusting the symlinks.

The files are loaded in numeric order, the structure of the configuration
has led to the following conventions in usage:

 Files beginning with:	Contain:
 
 00 through 09		Font directories
 10 through 19		system rendering defaults (AA, etc)
 20 through 29		font rendering options
 30 through 39		family substitution
 40 through 49		generic identification, map family->generic
 50 through 59		alternate config file loading
 60 through 69		generic aliases, map generic->family
 70 through 79		select font (adjust which fonts are available)
 80 through 89		match target="scan" (modify scanned patterns)
 90 through 99		font synthesis

Re: Deleted my folder /etc/fonts/conf.d, get my symlinks back ? [SOLVED]

pacman -Ql fontconfig | grep conf.default
stat /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.default/60-generic.conf
pacman -Qo /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.default/60-generic.conf

but it seems the package has some sophisticated scripts to remove the symlinks in a post-install hook.

In that case, just extract/copy them manually from the package tarball in /var/cache/pacman/pkg

/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.default/60-generic.conf is owned by fontconfig 2:2.15.0-2

I looked at the fonts packages in /var/cache/pacman/pkg but they seem to contain the same thing as in /usr/share/fonts.
Nothing seems to be interesting because it's just the .otf files containing the fonts informations and i don't see how i should symlink them (if that's what's required).

Thanks for your patience...

If the file is restored, why does it not show up in fc-conflist?

Ok, since your symlinks are back according to #7 - does fc-conflist now reflect that?

I don't see really any change + /etc/fonts/conf.d is still empty (except for the README file obviously) so i don't understand what makes you think that the symlinks are back...maybe I'm looking at the wrong place ?

Re: Deleted my folder /etc/fonts/conf.d, get my symlinks back ? [SOLVED]

what makes you think that the symlinks are back

stat /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.default/60-generic.conf
File: /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.default/60-generic.conf -> ../conf.avail/60-generic.conf

cd /etc/fonts/conf.d
for name in /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.default/*.conf; do sudo ln -s $(basename "$name") "$name"; done

Actually, my bad for not paying enough attention - I just implied you having shredded the package supplied conf.default symlinks over the actual statement in the subject line… I need to take more time per thread and not just make up half of the problem for speed
