Hi,

Nice to see some movement fontconfig-side.

1. please do not create '$(bindir)/fc-cache.d/' monstruosities.
Use /usr/lib???/fontconfig for that as per FHS

2. please consider making fontconfig depend on an external provider of
unicode tables & adobe glyph lists. Fontconfig should really not keep a
private copy of those, that makes full-distro updating hard.

3. please consider moving the built-in fontconfig files
from /etc/conf.avail to /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail as per FHS

4. please consider installing the fontconfig DTD in /usr/share/xml as
per FHS (and register it in system xml catalogs)

5. please consider adding an heuristic like the one used by MS in WPF to
compute cleaned-up font & face names for non-WWS fonts

(sending my rfe list since it's getting closer to christmas)
