Source string added
Fonts are often supplied in zip files, requiring tools from <xref linkend="libarchive"/> or <xref linkend='seven-zip'/> to list and extract them, but even if the current release is a tarball, you should still check to see if it will create a directory (scattering the contents of a zipfile or tarball across the current directory can be very messy, and a few fonts create __MACOSX/ directories). In addition, many fonts are supplied with permissions which do not let 'other' users read them - if a font is to be installed for system-wide use, any directories must be mode 755 and all the files mode 644, so you need to change them if the permissions are different. If you forget, the root user may be able to see a particular font in <command>fc-list</command>, but a normal user will not be able to use them.

The <ulink url="https://github.com/liberationfonts/"> Liberation fonts</ulink> provide libre substitutes for Arial, Courier New, and Times New Roman. <application>Fontconfig</application> will use them as substitutes for those fonts, and also for the similar Helvetica, Courier, and Times Roman, though for these it can prefer a different font (see the examples in the PDFs at <ulink url="https://typosetting.co.uk/files/PDF-substitutes/">typosetting.co.uk</ulink>).

Rendered examples of most of these fonts, and many others, with details of what languages they cover, can be found at a <ulink url="https://typosetting.co.uk">font-comparison</ulink> website.

<ulink url="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Gelasio">Gelasio</ulink> is metrically compatible with MS Georgia and <application>Fontconfig</application> will use it if MS Georgia is requested but is not installed.

For writing systems not using the Latin, Greek or Cyrillic alphabets the Noto fonts are not preferred by <application>Fontconfig</application>. If you use a Noto font for a modern language where another installed font also covers it (e.g. the DejaVu fonts cover several Right-to-Left alphabets), you might need to set a preference for <application>Fontconfig</application> - see the previous page.

In Korean, Batang or Myeongjo (the older name) are Serif, Dotum or Gothic are the main Sans fonts. BLFS previously recommended the Baekmuk fonts, but the Nanum and Un fonts are now preferred to Baekmuk by <application>Fontconfig</application> because of user requests.

The <ulink url="https://moji.or.jp/ipafont/">IPAex fonts</ulink> are the current version of the IPA fonts. Use <ulink url='https://moji-or-jp.translate.goog/ipafont/?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en&amp;_x_tr_pto=wapp'>Google Translate</ulink> on the home page, then click on the download link for IPAex Font Ver.004.01. Unfortunately, <application>Fontconfig</application> only knows about the older IPAfonts and the forked IPA Mona font (which is not easily available and which apparently does not meet Debian's Free Software guidelines). If you install the IPAex fonts, you may want to make it known to <application>Fontconfig</application>. Please see <xref linkend="prefer-chosen-CJK-fonts"/> for one way to accomplish this.

<ulink url="https://sourceforge.net/projects/wqy/files/wqy-zenhei/">WenQuanYi Zen Hei</ulink> provides a Sans-Serif font which covers all CJK scripts including Korean. Although it includes old-style conf files, these are not required: <application>Fontconfig</application> will already treat these fonts (the 'sharp' contains bitmaps, the monospace appears not to be Mono in its ASCII part) as Sans, Serif, and Monospace. If all you wish to do is to be able to render Han and Korean text without worrying about the niceties of the shapes used, the main font from this package is a good font to use.

For Hong Kong, which uses Traditional Chinese and where Cantonese is the dominant language, the Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set was added to Unicode in 2005 and revised in 2009 (it is part of CJK Extension B and contains more than 1900 characters). Earlier fonts will not be able to support either Cantonese or use these characters where local names are written in Mandarin. The UMing HK, Noto Sans HK and WenQuanYi Zen Hei fonts all seem to cover Hong Kong usage (<application>Fontconfig</application> disagrees about Noto Sans HK).

Also, <application>Fontconfig</application> prefers Chinese to Japanese by default. Tuning that is covered at <xref linkend="prefer-chosen-CJK-fonts"/>.
