+This is a Linux/i386 binary port of the Fontconfig library and utilities.
+
+In the words of its author, Keith Packard:
+
+   Fontconfig can:
+     * discover new fonts when installed automatically, removing a common
+       source of configuration problems.
+     * perform font name substitution, so that appropriate alternative
+       fonts can be selected if fonts are missing.
+     * identify the set of fonts required to completely cover a set of
+       languages.
+     * have GUI configuration tools built as it uses an XML-based
+       configuration file (though with autodiscovery, we believe this need
+       is minimized).
+     * efficiently and quickly find the fonts you need among the set of
+       fonts you have installed, even if you have installed thousands of
+       fonts, while minimzing memory usage.
+     * be used in concert with the X Render Extension and FreeType to
+       implement high quality, anti-aliased and subpixel rendered text on a
+       display.
