Ulrike, this is easier said than done. The installer doesn't know<br>
where fontconfig files are located and deriving it from fc-conflist<br>
isn't sufficient either. There is no fontconfig directory in the<br>
user's HOME directory by default and the one in /etc is not writable<br>
by mortal users. The only reliable solution is to give some hints in<br>
the documentation.<br>
