What is fontconfig?
Fontconfig is a library that enables users to configure and customize the way fonts are accessed on a system. The library provides a standardized way to query available fonts, match fonts that correspond to font pattern requests, and perform font name substitution. It can also cache information about fonts to improve performance. Fontconfig is designed to work with a variety of font file formats and is commonly used in Linux and other Unix-like operating systems
